1.5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specication denes
a 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 conguration control.
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.
This motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies
generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, the
12V 4-pin power connector located at JPW2 is always required to ensure adequate power
is supplied to the CPU.
Warning: 1) To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a power
supply that contains a 24-pin and a 4-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect these
connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and the 4-pin (JPW2) power connectors on the motherboard.
Failure in doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.
2) To provide adequate power to SATA devices, please connect the SATA DOM PWR
connector (JSD1) to the power supply.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power
supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant (For more information,
please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas where noisy
power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line lter to shield the computer
from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid
problems caused by power surges.
