Introduction
Suspend to RAM (STR)
When the system goes into a sleep state, power is removed from most of
the system components but can remain supplied to RAM to quickly restore
the system to its previous state of operation. Because system restoral
happens in only ~5 seconds, applications that were open before the sleep
state can reopen for immediate access. In STR, all data in system memory
is stored in RAM when the system is suspended and system power is
turned off (the power supply fan also shuts off). You must be running
ACPI for this feature to take effect. See page 1-16 for details on initiating
ACPI. All drivers and add-on cards must be ACPI supported for STR to
function. Note: To support the STR function, your power supply must
provide a +5V standby voltage that supplies at least 720 mA of current.
Alert on LAN 2 (AOL2) (S2DM3 only)
AOL2 ASIC brings an advanced level of management interface between a
remote management console/server and the client system. It provides inter-
faces to the 82559 Ethernet controller chip and to system monitoring de-
vices. AOL2 can send "Alert" messages to the mangagement console to
notify administrators of important events or problems such as high tempera-
tures, chassis intrusion and voltages exceeding safe margins.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose
for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the
power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power
on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in BIOS on page 4-11 of this
manual to change this setting. The default setting is Always OFF.
1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER
S2DM3/S2DME. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that
supports PC health monitoring.
