Intel AUGSBURG S775 I915G MATX BLKD915GAGL User Manual

Power management is implemented at several levels, including: 
•  Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) 
•  Hardware support: 

  Power connector 
  Fan connectors 
  LAN wake capabilities 
  Instantly Available PC technology 
  Resume on Ring 
  Wake from USB  
  Wake from PS/2 devices 
  Power Management Event signal (PME#) wake-up support 

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play 
functions of a computer.  The use of ACPI with these boards requires an operating system that 
provides full ACPI support.  ACPI features include: 
•  Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) 
•  Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in boards may 

require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives 

•  Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the power-on/standby 

sleeping state 

•  A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer 
•  Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 11 on page 42) 
•  Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch   

Table 9 lists the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how 
ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system.
