Power Supply and Battery Pack

A CBB-compliant 65 W AC power adapter is used to supply DC power to the Mobile Board.

2200 mAh/2400 mAh/2600 mAh 6-cell or 2400 mAh/2600 mAh 9-cell LI compliant battery packs can be used for mobile power. The battery pack plugs into a connector on the Mobile Board (see Figure 2, S).

Refer to the Notebook Motherboard Specification for more information.

Power Management

The Mobile Board supports the latest version of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification.

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the board requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support such as Microsoft Windows Vista.

ACPI features include:

•Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration)

•Power management control of individual devices, add-in cards (some add-in cards may require an ACPI-aware driver), and hard disk drives

•A soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer

•Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 12 and Table 13)

•Support for a sleep/hibernate mode switch

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the Mobile Board requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support.
