System Resource Alert
This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor III in the
Windows OS environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor
is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also
configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predefined thresholds.
1-6 ACPI 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 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 enabling 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 to blink 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.
