hance clock control. A hardware-based component provides software-independent
thermal management that is compatible with the ACPI Revision 3.0a.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking
to indicate that the CPU is in suspend 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, it will function like a normal
keyboard during system boot-up.
1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and
reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU
clock rates of 1 GHz and faster.
The C2G41 accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most
power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are
inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom-
mended.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets
12V ATX power supply Specification 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V
8-pin power connection (JPW2) be used for high-load configurations. In areas where
noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield
the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge
protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.
1-7 Versatile Media Capabilities
High Definition Audio
The High Definition Audio Controller embedded in the ICH7 delivers up to 4 codecs
that can be used for different types of codecs, such as audio and modem codecs.
Operating at 3.3V or 1.5V, the embedded Audio Controller supports a multi-channel
audio stream, 32-bit sample depth, up to 192 kHz of same rate, and can be used with
a variety of microphones for input. With these versatile audio capabilities built in, the
C2G41 provides the user with a surreal audio experience that is larger than life.
