ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management
and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. Currently,
only Windows
®
98/2000/ME/XP supports the ACPI function. ACPI when enabled in the Power
Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing
the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows
®
98/2000/ME/XP without
having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating
system. This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire
operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating session
will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
1A.
Virus Protection
Most viruses today destroy data stored in hard drives. The system board is designed to protect
the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk drive.
