System Support
Level 0—Cover removal indication is essentially disabled at this level. During POST, status bit is
cleared and no other action is taken by BIOS.
Level 1—During POST the message “The computer's cover has been removed since the last
system start up” is displayed and time stamp in CMOS is updated.
Level 2—During POST the “The computer's cover has been removed since the last system start
up” message is displayed, time stamp in CMOS is updated, and the user is prompted for the
administrator password. (A Setup password must be enabled in order to see this option).
Smart Cover Lock (Optional)
These systems support an optional solenoid-operated locking bar that, when activated, prevents
the cover (hood) from being removed. The GPIO ports 44 and 45 of the SIO controller provide
the lock and unlock signals to the solenoid. A locked hood may be bypassed by removing special
screws that hold the locking mechanism in place. The special screws are removed with the Smart
Cover Lock Failsafe Key.
4.5.2 Power Management
These systems provide baseline hardware support of ACPI- and APM-compliant firmware and
software. Key power-consuming components (processor, chipset, I/O controller, and fan) can be
placed into a reduced power mode either automatically or by user control. The system can then
be brought back up (“wake-up”) by events defined by the ACPI 2.0 specification. The ACPI
wake-up events supported by this system are listed as follows:
Table 4-6.
