you forgot the password, power-off the system and remove the battery.
Wait for a few seconds and install it back before powering-on the
system.
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
720mA.
Wake-On-USB Keyboard
The Wake-On-USB Keyboard function allows you to use a USB keyboard to
wake up a system that is in the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state. Refer to
Jumper Settings for Wake-On-USB Keyboard in chapter 2 and Enabling the
Wake-On-USB Keyboard Function in chapter 3 for more information.
Important:
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard function for 2 USB ports,
the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
1.5A.
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard function for 4 USB ports,
the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
2A.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically
power-on on the set date and time.
ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs
to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that
support OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only Windows
®
98/2000
supports the ACPI function. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup
will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at
once by pressing the power button or selecting Standby when you shut down
Windows

98/2000 without having to go through the sometimes tiresome
process of closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the
system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire
operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The
operating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you
power-on the system. Refer to Using the Suspend to RAM Function in chapter
3 for more information.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
1A.
AC Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either
power-on the system manually, let the system power-on automatically or return
to the state where you left off before power failure occurs. Refer to Selecting
the Power Lost Resume State in chapter 3 for more information.
Year 2000 Compliant
Supports hardware Y2K function.
Supports hardware Random Number Generator (RNG) to enable a new se-
curity and manageability infrastructure for PC.
Virus Protection
Most viruses today destroy data stored in hard drives. The system board is
designed to protect the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk drive.
