Power management
The Advanced Power Management (APM) program is contained in
the Intel PCI I/O ISA/IDE Accelerator chip on the system board. The
program reduces system power consumption to less than 30 watts
when there is no activity detected from the keyboard, mouse, diskette
drive, CD-ROM reader, or hard disk drive after a pre-determined
period of time. As soon as activity is detected, the system resumes
operation where it left off.
There are three levels of reduced power consumption, all selectable in
the CMOS Setup utility. The three levels are Full Power On, Standby,
and Suspend. Each setting provides a timer in which the system
activates the Idle, Standby, and Suspend power saving schemes.
Plug and play
Your system comes with Plug and Play technology for automatic
configuration of Plug and Play expansion boards. Plug and Play
eliminates complicated setup procedures for installing Plug and Play
expansion boards. There are no jumpers to set and no system
resource conflicts to resolve. You need only power down the system,
install the Plug and Play expansion board, and power up the system.
The system also supports non Plug and Play boards.
Plug and Play is controlled by the Plug and Play BIOS and the
system’s operating system. The Plug and Play BIOS is stored in the
2-MB Flash EPROM on the system board.
The Plug and Play BIOS adds several steps to the POST process.
During POST, the Plug and Play evaluates the configuration of
installed boards and assigns available system resources to the devices.
On completion of Plug and Play POST, the operating system checks
to see if there are any additional resources required, then assigns
available resources to the devices.
