4.7.2 POWER MANAGEMENT
This system provides baseline hardware support of ACPI- and APM-compliant firmware and
software. Key power-consuming components (processor, chipset, I/O controller, and fan) can be
placed into a reduced power mode either automatically or by user control. The system can then be
brought back up (“wake-up”) by events defined by the ACPI specification. The ACPI wake-up
events supported by this system are listed as follows:
ACPI Wake-Up Event  System Wakes From 
Power Button  Suspend or soft-off 
RTC Alarm  Suspend or soft-off 
Wake On LAN (w/NIC)  Suspend or soft-off 
PME Suspend or soft-off 
Serial Port Ring  Suspend or soft-off 
USB Suspend only 
Keyboard Suspend only 
Mouse Suspend only 
4.7.3 SYSTEM STATUS
These systems provide a visual indication of system boot and ROM flash status through the
keyboard LEDs and operational status using bi-colored power and hard drive activity LEDs as
indicated in Tables 4-15 and 4-16 respectively.
NOTE: The LED indications listed in Table 4-15 are valid only for PS/2-type
keyboards. A USB keyboard will not provide LED status for the listed events, although
audible (beep) indications will occur.
