1.5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifi cation defi nes
a fl exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power
management features throughout a computer system including its hardware, operating system
and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals
such as network cards, hard disk drives and printers.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides a
generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating system-independent
interface for confi guration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
appropriate Windows operating systems. For detailed information on OS support, please refer
to our website at www.supermicro.com.
1.6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable
operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. It is
recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused
by power surges.
1.7 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by the motherboard.

Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM)
Intel's Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with real-time thermal
control and power management for maximum energy effi ciency. IPNM is available when the
Supermicro Power Manager (SPM) is installed. Although IPNM Specifi cation Version 2.0 or
3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), your system must also
have the IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) fi rmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM 2.0/3.0 is dependent on the power supply used in the system.
