Revision 1.22 October 24, 2002 -81- I/O Space Power Management Registers
Power Management I/O-Space Registers
Basic Power Management Control and Status
I/O Offset 1-0 - Power Management Status .................RWC
The bits in this register are set only by hardware and can be
reset by software by writing a one to the desired bit position.
15 Wakeup Status ......................................... default = 0
This bit is set when the system is in the suspend state
and an enabled resume event occurs. Upon setting
this bit, the system automatically transitions from the
suspend state to the normal working state (from C3 to
C0 for the processor).
14-12 Reserved ........................................ always reads 0
11 Abnormal Power-Off Status ................... default = 0
10 RTC Alarm Status ................................... default = 0
This bit is set when the RTC generates an alarm (on
assertion of the RTC IRQ signal).
9 Sleep Button Status.................................. default = 0
This bit is set when the sleep button is pressed
(SLPBTN# signal asserted low).
8 Power Button Status ................................ default = 0
This bit is set when the PWRBTN# signal is asserted
low. If the PWRBTN# signal is held low for more
than four seconds, this bit is cleared, the Power
Button Status bit is set, and the system will transition
into the soft off state.
7-6 Reserved ........................................ always reads 0
5 Global Status ............................................ default = 0
This bit is set by hardware when the BIOS Release
bit is set (typically by an SMI routine to release
control of the SCI / SMI lock). When this bit is
cleared by software (by writing a one to this bit
position) the BIOS Release bit is also cleared at the
same time by hardware.
4 Bus Master Status .................................... default = 0
This bit is set when a system bus master requests the
system bus. All PCI master, ISA master and ISA
DMA devices are included.
3-1 Reserved ........................................ always reads 0
0 ACPI Timer Carry Status....................... default = 0
The bit is set when the 23
rd
(31st) bit of the 24 (32)
bit ACPI power management timer changes.
I/O Offset 3-2 - Power Management Enable ..................RW
The bits in this register correspond to the bits in the Power
Management Status Register at offset 1-0.
15 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
14-12 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
11 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
10 RTC Alarm Enable ..................................default = 0
This bit may be set to trigger either an SCI or an SMI
(depending on the setting of the SCI Enable bit) to be
generated when the RTC Status bit is set.
9 Sleep Button Enable.................................default = 0
This bit may be set to trigger either an SCI or SMI
when the Sleep Button Status bit is set.
8 Power Button Enable ...............................default = 0
This bit may be set to trigger either an SCI or an SMI
(depending on the setting of the SCI Enable bit) to be
generated when the Power Button Status bit is set.
7-6 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
5 Global Enable ...........................................default = 0
This bit may be set to trigger either an SCI or an SMI
(depending on the setting of the SCI Enable bit) to be
generated when the Global Status bit is set.
4 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
3-1 Reserved ........................................always reads 0
0 ACPI Timer Enable..................................default = 0
This bit may be set to trigger either an SCI or an SMI
(depending on the setting of the SCI Enable bit) to be
generated when the Timer Status bit is set.
