1-3 ACPI/PC 98 Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The
ACPI specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware
interface that provides a standard way to integrate power manage-
ment features throughout a PC system, including hardware,
operating system and application software. This enables the
system to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-
ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives, and printers. This also
includes consumer devices connected to the PC such as VCRs,
TVs, phones, and stereos.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power manage-
ment, ACPI provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug
and Play and an operating system-independent interface for
configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS
data structures while providing a processor architecture-indepen-
dent implementation that is compatible with both Windows 95 and
Windows NT.
Microsoft OnNow
The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide
approach to system and device power control. OnNow is a term
for a PC that is always on but appears off and responds immedi-
ately to user or other requests.
Slow Blinking LED for Sleep-state Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the power LED will
start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in sleep mode. When
the user presses any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will
automatically stop blinking and remain on.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, the USB
keyboard will work like a normal keyboard during system boot-up.
