1.12.1 
ACPI 
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug 
and Play functions of a computer.  The use of ACPI with the board 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 8 on page 31) 
•  Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch   
Table 6 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.
