The system board is designed to meet the ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specifi-
cation. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to imple-
ment Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems
that support OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only Win-
dows

98/2000/ME/XP supports the ACPI function. ACPI when
enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the
Suspend to RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the
system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby”
when you shut down Windows
®®
®®
®
98/2000/ME/XP without having to
go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applica-
tions and operating system. This is because the system is capable of
storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session
into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The oper-
ating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you
power-on the system.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
1A.
