Chapter 8 System BIOS

Featuring the AMD Athlon XP Processor
Second Edition - April 2003
8-16
8.6.1.3 Suspend
Suspend is not supported in the Independent PM mode.
8.6.1.4 System OFF
When the system is turned Off but still plugged into a live AC outlet the NIC, ICH2, and I/O
components continue to receive auxiliary power in order to power-up as the result of a Magic
Packet™ being received over a network. Some NICs are able to wake up a system from Standby
in PM, most require their Windows/NT driver to reset them after one wake-up.
8.6.1.5 Waking Up in Independent PM
Activity of either of the following devices will cause the system to wake up with the screen
restored:
♦ Keyboard
♦ Mouse (if driver installed)
The hard drive will not spin up until it is accessed. Any hard drive access will cause it to wake up
and resume spinning. Since the BIOS returns to the currently running software, it is possible for
the drive to spin up while the system is in Standby with the screen blanked.
8.6.2 ACPI SUPPORT
These systems meet the hardware and firmware requirements for being ACPI compliant.
This system supports the following ACPI functions:
♦ PM timer
♦ Power button
♦ Power button override
♦ RTC alarm
♦ Sleep/Wake logic (S1,S3, S4 (Windows 2000), S5)
♦ C1 state (Halt)
♦ PCI Power Management Event (PME)
8.7 USB LEGACY SUPPORT
The BIOS ROM checks the USB port, during POST, for the presence of a USB keyboard. This
allows a system with only a USB keyboard to be used during ROM-based setup and also on a
system with an OS that does not include a USB driver.
On such a system a keystroke will generate an SMI and the SMI handler will retrieve the data
from the device and convert it to PS/2 data. The data will be passed to the keyboard controller and
processed as in the PS/2 interface. Changing the delay and/or typematic rate of a USB keyboard
though BIOS function INT 16 is not supported.
