1-5 ACPI/PC 98 Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI speci-
fication defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a stan-
dard way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system,
including hardware, the 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. This also includes consumer
devices connected to the PC such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI pro-
vides 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-indepen-
dent implementation that is compatible with both Windows 98 and Windows NT
5.0.
Microsoft OnNow
The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to sys-
tem and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but
appears to be off and responds immediately to user or other requests.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the power LED will start blinking 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.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will work like a normal
keyboard during system boot-up.
Real-Time Clock Wake-up Alarm
The PC may be perceived to be off when not in use, but is still capable of
responding to preset wake-up events. In the BIOS, the user can set a timer to
wake-up the system at a predetermined time (see page 5-14).
