Description 29
Table 5 lists the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how
ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system.
Table 5.
Effects of Pressing the Power Switch
If the system is in this state…
…and the power switch is
pressed for

(ACPI G0 – working state)
Sleep
(ACPI G1 – sleeping state)
More than four seconds
Power-off
(ACPI G2/G5 – Soft off)
System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The
operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and
knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be
turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the
system as a whole into a low-power state.
Table 6 lists the power states supported by the S845WD1-E board along with the associated system
power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various system and
power states.
