environment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux. Supero Doctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also configure Supero Doctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.

2-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifica- tion defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives and printers.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with the Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Operating Systems.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the CPU will "wake up" and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.

2-6 Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates.

The X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR motherboard accommodates 24- pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifica- tions required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connections are also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.

Warning! 1. To avoid damaging the power supply or motherboard, please use a power supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connec- tors. Be sure to connect these connectors to the 24-pin (JPW1) and the two 8-pin (JPW2, JPW3) power connectors on the motherboard. Failure to do so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard.
