TURES

Intelligent Features:

Auto Fan Off: The system fans will power off automatically even in sleep
mode
. This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is
an important feature in implementing silent PC systems.

Dual Function Power Button: Pushing the power button for less than 4 sec-
onds when the system is in the working state places the system into one of two
states: sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS setting (see “Power
Management Setup” under BIOS SOFTWARE). When the power button is
pressed for more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode regardless
of the BIOS setting.

Keyboard Power Up: Keyboard Power Up can be enabled or disabled to allow
the computer to be powered on by pressing the space bar on the keyboard.

Message LED (requires ACPI OS support): Turbo LEDs now act as informa-
tion providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, the user can de-
termine the stage the computer is in. A simple glimpse provides useful informa-
tion to the user.

Remote Ring On (requires external modem): This allows a computer to be
turned on remotely through an external modem. With this benefit on-hand, any
user can access vital information from their computer from anywhere in the world!

System Resources Alert: Today’s operating systems such as Windows 95/98/
NT and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present enor-
mous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource monitor
will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible
application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on managing
their limited resources more efficiently.
