•  The onboard LAN subsystem 
1.11.2.4  Instantly Available PC Technology 
 CAUTION 
For Instantly Available PC technology, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable 
of providing adequate +5 V standby current.  Failure to provide adequate standby current when 
implementing Instantly Available PC technology can damage the power supply.   
Instantly Available PC technology enables the boards to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) 
sleep-state.  While in the S3 sleep-state, the computer will appear to be off (the power supply is off, 
and the front panel LED is amber if dual colored, or off if single colored.)  When signaled by a 
wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state.  Table 8 on page 
35 lists the devices and events that can wake the computer from the S3 state. 
The boards support the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification.  Add-in boards that 
also support this specification can participate in power management and can be used to wake the 
computer.   
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and PCI 2.2 
compliant add-in cards, PCI Express add-in cards, and drivers. 
1.11.2.5  Resume on Ring 
The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows: 
•  Resumes operation from ACPI S1 or S3 states 
•  Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems 
•  Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation 
1.11.2.6  Wake from USB 
USB bus activity wakes the computer from ACPI S1 or S3 states. 
 
NOTE 
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB. 
1.11.2.7  Wake from PS/2 Devices 
PS/2 device activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state. 
1.11.2.8  PME# Signal Wake-up Support 
When the PME# signal on the PCI Conventional bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI 
S1, S3, S4, or S5 state (with Wake on PME enabled in BIOS). 
1.11.2.9  WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support 
When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI 
S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.
