Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC Technology)
CAUTION
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.
Instantly Available PC 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 awake state.
The desktop board’s standby power indicator, shown in Figure 3, is lit when there is standby power
to the system. This includes the memory modules and PCI bus connectors, even when the
computer appears to be off.
If the system has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the
LED turning amber.
