issue Soft Off APM command when the user selects “Shutdown” in
Start Menu. In order to make Soft Off feature work properly, Power
Management/APM must be enabled in the system BIOS and Operating
System.
1.15 System Sleep / Resume
When Advanced Power Management (APM) is activated in the system
BIOS and the Operating System's APM/ACPI driver is loaded, Sleep
mode (Suspend) can be entered in one of three ways: press the front
panel power button, select “Suspend” in Windows 95/98 Start Menu
or no system activity for a pre-defined length of time. To use the
power button to control system sleep/resume, the option “PWR-
BTTN” in the BIOS Power Management Setup has to be set to “Green
Mode”
When the system enters the sleep mode, the CPU stops running, the
Ali Aladdin V chipset and related circuits stay in the lowest power
state, the HDD stops spinning, the monitor screen becomes blank, the
STB LED (STANDBY LED) indicator on the front panel turn on, and
the CPU cooling fan is turned off (Note: in order to turn off the fan in
sleep mode, you need to connect the CPU cooling fan to the on-board
fan power connectors).
1.16 Wake On LAN (WOL)
Wake on LAN (WOL) is a 1x3 pin header for remote wake up of the
computer through a network. Wake on LAN requires an ATX power
supply installed and PCI add-in network interface card (NIC) with
remote wake up capabilities. The remote wake up header on the NIC
must be connected to the onboard Wake on LAN header. The NIC
monitors network traffic at the NIC interface and when it detects a
Magic Packet (MP Wake-up) it asserts a wake up signal that powers
up the computer.
Note:
For WOL (Wake on LAN), the 5Vsb (5V standby) line of the ATX
power supply must be capable of delivering 5V with 5% tolerance at
720mA or higher.
