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 the
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 2008 and newer operating systems.
1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and
reliable operation. This is even more important for processors that have high CPU
clock rates.
The X10QBi system motherboard includes a 24-pin ATX main system power con-
nector (JWP1), six 8-pin power connectors (JWP2-JPW7), and a SATA DOM power
connector (JWF1). Please connect these power connectors to the power supply to
provide adequate power to the components and the system.
Warning!
To avoid damaging the power supply or the system, be sure to connect the
24-pin ATX Main Power connector (JPW1), six 8-pin power connectors (JPW2-7), and
the SATA DOM power connector (JSD1) to the power supply. Failure to do so will void
the manufacturer warranties on both your power supply and the board.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high-quality power supply that meets ATX
Power Supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more
information, please refer to the website at http://www.ssiforum.org/.) Additionally, in
areas where noisy power transmission is present, 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.
1-7 Super I/O
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with the ACPI (Advanced Configu-
ration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power
