Introduction

RTC Timer to Power-on the System

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to auto-

matically power-on on the set date and time.

AC Power Failure Recovery

When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to

either power-on the system manually or let the system power-on

automatically.

ACPI

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Con-

figuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving

features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and

Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power

Management. Currently, only Windows

®®

98/2000/ME/XP supports

the ACPI function allowing you to use the Suspend to RAM func-

tion.

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 ses-

sion into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The

operating 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.

Virus Protection

Most viruses today destroy data stored in hard drives. The system

board is designed to protect the boot sector and partition table of

your hard disk drive.
