1.13.3
Chassis Intrusion and Detection
The boards support a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover is removed.
For the
chassis intrusion circuit to function, the chassis
power supply must be connected to AC power.
The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that attaches to the chassis intrusion
connector.
The mechanical switch is closed for normal computer operation.
For information about
Refer to
The location of the chassis intrusion connector
Figure 13, page 61
The signal names of the chassis intrusion connector
Table 33, page 63
NOTE
Chassis intrusion detection may be implemented using Intel Active Monitor or third-party
software.
1.14 Power Management
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 (PME#) wake-up support
1.14.1
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 D845BG and D845PT 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 10 on page 41)
Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch
