Real Time Clock Wake-up Alarm
The PC is perceived to be off when not in use, but is still capable of
responding to preset wake-up events. In the BIOS the user can set a timer
to wake-up the system at a predetermined time.
Main Switch Override Mechanism
W hen an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a
system suspend button. When the user presses on the power button, the
system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended, and the
hard drive will spin down. Pressing the power button again will cause the
whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply
provides power to keep the required circuitry on the system alive. In case
the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just press
down on the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no
power is provided to the motherboard.
External Modem Ring-on
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem
ringing when the system is in SoftOff state.
1-6 Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
W ake-on-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to re-
motely power up a computer which is powered off. Remote PC setup,
updates, and asset tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so
daily LAN traffic is kept to a minimum and users are not interrupted.
The motherboards have a 3-pin header (WOL) used to connect to the 3-pin
header on the Network Interface Card (NIC) which has WOL capability.
Note that Wake-On-Lan can only be used with an ATX power connector on-
board.
1-7 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for
proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for high CPU clock
rates like 233, 266, 300, 333, 350 or 400 MHz Pentium II processor.
