Intel Desktop Board D915GUX/D915GHA Technical Product Specification 1.11.4 Chassis Intrusion and Detection The boards support a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover is removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that attaches to the chassis intrusion connector. When the chassis cover is removed, the mechanical switch is in the closed position. 1.12 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 signal (PME#) wake-up support 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 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 9 on page 38) • Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch Table 7 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. Table 7. Effects of Pressing the Power Switch If the system is in this state... Off (ACPI G2/G5 - Soft off) On (ACPI G0 - working state) On (ACPI G0 - working state) Sleep (ACPI G1 - sleeping state) Sleep (ACPI G1 - sleeping state) ...and the power switch is pressed for Less than four seconds Less than four seconds More than four seconds Less than four seconds More than four seconds ...the system enters this state Power-on (ACPI G0 - working state) Soft-off/Standby (ACPI G1 - sleeping state) Fail safe power-off (ACPI G2/G5 - Soft off) Wake-up (ACPI G0 - working state) Power-off (ACPI G2/G5 - Soft off) 36
