ACPI Function (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface):
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions
of a computer. The ACPI functions are always “
Enabled
”. If you want ACPI functions to work normally,
you should notice two things. One is your operating system must support ACPI, as of now only
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98 SE and Windows
®
2000 supports these functions. The second thing is that all
devices and add-on cards in your system must fully support ACPI, both hardware and software (drivers).
If you want to know if your devices or add-on cards support ACPI or not, please contact the device or
add-on card manufacture for more information. If you want to know more about ACPI specifications,
please go to the address below for more detailed information:

Note:
If you enable the ACPI function in the BIOS setup, the SMI function will not work.
ACPI requires an ACPI-aware operating system. ACPI features include:
!
Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) and APM functionality normally contained in
the BIOS.
!
Power management control of individual devices, add-in cards (some add-in cards may require an
ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives.
!
A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power off the computer.
