9.2 Specifications of the BIOS
Embedded BIOS Remarks
ACPI PM V3.0 Power Management
ACPI Battery Support Not enabled
Boot Devices PATA, SATA, USB-Devices, LAN
CMOS-Data Battery backed SRAM and a copy in the EEPROM
BIOS Setup Backup Automatically written into the EEPROM after setup-screen exit
Battery-less Boot
Generally possible, setup data are transferred from the EEPROM.
The system integrator is responsible for testing and validating the application software on a battery-
less platform.
Without backup-battery, the time and date counter is not running while the computer system is
switched off!
Customized CMOS Possible, must be ordered separately
Customized User Data Possible, must be ordered separately
PCI Parallel Supports PCI V2.2 with up to 6 resources
PCIexpress Supports PCI V2.2
TPM V1.2 Trusted Platform Module, optionally connectable to the SMB-Bus
Watchdog Support Shutdown or restart, depends on the implementation
RAID Support Yes, with the ICH7M on the SMX945 RAID0 and 1 on 2x SATA
IDE Mode Compatible mode (IRQ14/15) or Native mode (PCI device)
APIC-Support Yes, Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
AHCI Yes, Advanced Host Controller Interface for SATA Hotplug
EIST Yes, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology
Intel 64 Yes, needs a processor with the Core 2 Duo
Intel VT Yes, Intel Virtualization Technology, needs Core Duo or Core 2 Duo
Thermal Management
Yes, integrated in the ACPI
Throttling processor function
Control of the fan for active cooling
Critical trip point (the OS must shut down the system asap)
Catastrophic temperature (hardware shutdown)
Supported
ACPI Suspend Modes
Supported are:
S1 (POS = Power On Suspend)
S3 (STR = Suspend to RAM)
S4 (Suspend to Disk) is not supported by the BIOS; alternatively, the Win2000 and Win XP
Operating Systems use S4-OS (Hibernate)
Wakeup Events Remarks
Power Button Wakes unconditionally from S1-S5
GPI1# Only if configured as LID Switch
GPI2# Only if configured as RESUME ON RING
WOL, LAN wake event LAN driver must be configured for WOL
SMBALERT# Wakes up unconditionally from S1-S5
PCIexpress WAKE# Wakes up unconditionally from S1-S5
PME# Activates the wake-up capabilities of a PCI circuit
USB Mouse/KB
When standby mode S1 is set, the wake-up with USB MS/KB works. This depends on the system
implementation.
