D865GLC Motherboard Manual
29
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
Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch
Table 8 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.

System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state
transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based
on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications.
Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses
information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a
low-power state.
Table 9 lists the power states supported by the D865GLC motherboard along with
the associated system power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete
description of the various system and power states.
