The XTX 820 supports the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard, which is a key component of certain Operating Systems’ (OS’s) power management. The supported features (sleep states) listed here are only available when an

The XTX 820 supports at least five ACPI power states, depending on the operating system used and its ability to manage sleep states. Typically, the
•1st state is normal Power On (S0).
♦To go to a fully powered on state, the XTX 820 must either be powered Off (S5), or in a sleep state (S1 or S4), and then the
♦The XTX 820 can transition from this state (S0) to the various states described below, depending on the power management capability of the OS and how it is programmed.
•2nd state is a standby state (S1).
In this state there are no internal operations taking place, except for the internal RTC (real time clock) and the contents of RAM. This includes no activity for the CPU,
♦Normally, to enter this sleep state, the XTX 820 must be fully powered on (S0) and the OS transitions the XTX 820 into this standby state (S1) under user control.
♦To exit this sleep state a wake up event, such as the
