B-7
power switch. The most attractive part of ACPI for desktop user is probably
the "OnNow" feature, an idea from notebook. This feature allows you to
immediately resume to your original work without the long time waiting from
bootup, entering Win95 and running Winword. The AX5T with Intel TX
chipset can support ACPI.
Q: What is the Modem Wake Up?
A: With the help of ACPI OnNow and ATX soft power On/Off, it is possible to
have system totally power off (The traditional suspend mode of power
management function does not really turn off the system power supply), and
wakeup to automatically answer a phone call such as answering machine or
to send/receive fax. You may identify the true power off by checking fan of
your power supply. Both external box modem and internal modem card can
be used to support Modem Wake Up, but if you use external modem, you
have to keep the box modem always power-on. AOpen AX5T/AX58 and
internal modem card implement special circuit (patent applied) and make
sure the modem card works properly without any power. We recommend you
choose AOpen modem card (F34 or MP32) for Modem Wake Up
applications.
Q: What is the Suspend to Hard Drive?
A: This is the same as Notebook. You can resume your original work directly
from hard disk without go through the Win95 booting process and run your
application again. Suspend to Hard Drive saves your current work (system
status, memory image) into hard disk. If your memory is 16MB, normally,
you need to reserve at least 16MB HDD space to save your memory image.
ACPI OnNow is possible to do the same function, since the ACPI
specification is not fully ready. AOpen AP5T/AX5T/AX58 support Suspend to
Hard Drive through BIOS. Note that you have to use VESA compatible VGA
(AOpen S3 PV60), Sound Blaster compatible sound card (AOpen
AW32 or MP32) for Suspend to Hard Drive to work properly. Of course, we
recommend to use AOpen products for maximum compatibility.
Q: Why will the system BIOS assign an IRQ to the PCI VGA card?
A: Based on the PCI/PnP specif ication, system BIOS will automatically assign
an IRQ to each PCI add-on card detected regardless of VGA requirement. If
you do not want BIOS to assign an IRQ to the installed PCI VGA card, enter
the BIOS PCI/PnP Setup and set the specific PCI slot IRQ Priority to
"
None".
Q: Does Pentium or Pentium Pro MB support Deturbo mode?
