1.15 System Sleep / Resume
When Advanced Power Management (APM) is activated in the system
BIOS and the Operating System's APM/ACPI driver is loaded, Sleep
mode (Suspend) can be entered in one of three ways: press the front
panel power button, select “Suspend” in Windows 98 Start Menu or
no system activity for a pre-defined length of time. To use the power
button to control system sleep/resume, the option “Soft-Off by PWR-
BTTN” in the BIOS Power Management Setup has to be set to “Delay
4 Sec.”
When the system enters the sleep mode, the CPU stops running, the
810 Whittney AGPset and related circuits stay in the lowest power
state, the HDD stops spinning, the monitor screen becomes blank, the
power LED indicator on the front panel will be flashed, and the CPU
cooling fan and secondary fan are turned off (Note: in order to turn off
the fan in sleep mode, you need to connect the CPU cooling fan or
Chassis fan to the on-board fan power connectors marked FAN1 or
FAN2)
1.16 Hardware Monitoring
An Hardware monitoring function is built into onboard Winbond I/
O chip. This allows user to monitor system environment such as fan
speed (requires fan with tachometer output), system temperature and
system operating voltages.
1.17 Wake On LAN (WOL)
Wake on LAN (WOL) is a 1x3 pin header for remote wake up of the
computer through a network. Wake on LAN requires a PCI add-in
network interface card (NIC) with remote wake up capabilities. The
remote wake up header on the NIC must be connected to the onboard
Wake on LAN header. The NIC monitors network traffic at the MII
interface and when it detects a Magic Packet (MP Wake-up) it asserts
a wake up signal that powers up the computer.
Note: For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power
supply must be capable of delivering 5V with 5% tolerance at
720mA.
