Instantly Available Technology
Instantly Available technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) sleep
state. While in the S3 sleep state, the computer will appear to be off. When signaled by a wake up
device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state.
The optional standby power indicator (located between the DIMM sockets and power connector)
provides an indication that power is still present to the DIMMs and PCI bus connectors, even when
the computer appears to be off. Figure 3 shows the location of the standby power LED.
