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 o󰀨
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, an operating system-independent
interface for conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
Windows Server 2016 (64-bit, MSFT Inbox graphic drivers), RedHat Enterprise Linux Server
(64-bit), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (64-bit), and Ubuntu Server (64-bit) operating systems.
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 where
noisy power transmission is present.
The X13SCW-F motherboard accommodates a 24-pin ATX power supply. Although most
power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU, some are inadequate.
In addition, one 12 V 8-pin power connection is also required to ensure adequate power to
the system.
Warning: To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use
power supplies that contain 24-pins and 8-pins, respectively. Be sure to connect the
power supplies to the 24-pin power connector (JPW1), and the 8-pin power connector
(JPW2) on the motherboard. Failure in doing so may void the manufacturer warranty
on your power supply and motherboard.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power
supply Specication 2.02 or above and is SSI compliant. (For more information, refer to the
website at http://www.ssiforum.org/).
1.7 Serial Port
The X13SCW-F motherboard supports two serial communication connections. COM Port 1
and COM Header 2 can be used for input/output. The UART provides legacy speeds with a
baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500
K, or 1 Mb/s, which support high-speed serial communication devices.
