Chassis Intrusion
The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover has been removed.
The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can be connected to the chassis
intrusion header on the desktop board. See Figure 10 on page 35 for the location of the chassis
intrusion header.

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 the desktop board requires an operating system that
provides full ACPI support.
Power Connectors
The desktop board has two power connectors. See Figure 10 on page 35 for the location of the
power connectors.
Fan Headers
The desktop board has one chassis fan header and one processor fan header. See Figure 10 on
page 35 for the location of the fan headers.
Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC Technology)
CAUTIONS
For Instantly Available PC technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable
of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
using this feature can damage the power supply and/or effect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.
Power supplies used with this desktop board must be able to provide enough standby current to
support the standard Instantly Available (ACPI S3 sleep state) configuration. If the standby
current necessary to support multiple wake events from the PCI and/or USB buses exceeds power
supply capacity, the desktop board may lose register settings stored in memory.
