Manual for WinneX 5
2.
The BIOS option “ ACPI function” should be enabled, and “ ACPI Suspend Type”
should be set as S3 in AW ARD BIOS CMOS setup. Refer to page 28 for detailed
information.
3.
An ACPI-enabled operating system such as Windows 98 or Windows 2000 family
is needed. In order to install ACPI-enabled Windows 98 operating system, the
setup command should be typed as shown below:
D:\SETUP /P J
For the operating system already installed, enable ACPI function through the
Microsoft HCT (Hardware Compatibility Test) installation process.
4.
Two ways to enter Suspend-to-RAM status:
l
Under W indows 98/W indows 2000, clicking Start — Shut down — Standby
enables the system to enter Suspend-to-RAM status.
l
Under Windows 98/W indows 2000, from Power Management Properties in
Control Panel, set the continuous idle time before suspend, the system will
enter Suspend-to-RAM status when time out.
The same ways used to power up the system can be used to wake up the system
from Suspend-to-RAM status. For example, pushing the power button, through the
Wake-Up On LAN, W ake-Up On Internal/External Modem function or RTC Alarm. If
the keyboard password power-on function is enabled, the keyboard password should
be used to wake up the system instead of pushing the power button.
Ultra ATA/66
According to the previous ATA/IDE hard drive data transfer protocol, the signaling
way to send data was in synchronous strobe mode by using the rising edge of the
strobe signal. The Ultra ATA/33 protocol doubles the burst transfer rate from 16.6MB/
s to 33.3MB/s, by using both the rising and falling edges of the strobe signal, this
time Ultra ATA/66 doubles the Ultra ATA burst transfer rate once again (from 33.3MB/
s to 66.6MB/s) by reducing setup times and increasing the strobe rate. The faster
strobe rate increases EMI, which cannot be eliminated by the standard 40-pin cable
used by ATA and Ultra ATA. To eliminate this increase in EMI, a new 40-pin, 80-
conductor cable is needed. This cable adds 40 additional ground lines between each
of the original 40 ground and signal lines. The additional 40 lines help shield the
signal from EMI, reduce crosstalk and improve signal integrity.
