to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifica -
tion defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including
its 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.
In addition to operating_system-directed power management, ACPI also 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-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008
Operating Systems.
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.
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.
The X9DRFF-7 motherboard supports SMCI-Proprietary Fat Twin power supply.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the
CPU, some are inadequate. All these power connections are required to ensure
adequate power supply to the system. Your power supply must also supply 1.5A for
the Ethernet ports. Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is pres-
ent, 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.
Note : To provide adequate power supply to the motherboard, be sure to
connect the 8-pin PWR (JP5) and the 4-pin PWR connectors (JP3/JP4)
to the power supply. Failure to do so might void the manufacturer war-
ranty on your power supply and motherboard. It is strongly recommended
