Intel® Viiv™ Technology (Optional)
Intel Viiv technology is a technology aimed at the digital home enthusiast that includes:
• A BIOS that supports Intel
®
Quick Resume Technology
• Device drivers
This technology allows the user’s system to quickly return to an active state after non-use.
Intel Viiv technology is an option for systems that are ordered with Microsoft® Windows® XP Media
Center Edition 2005 and dual core processors.

Using Intel® Viiv™ Quick Resume Technology (QRT)

When running in the Intel Viiv QRT mode, your power button is used as a quick on/off feature. Pressing
the power button once causes the display to go blank and the audio to mute. In this mode, the computer
is still operating as indicated by the power button indicator and diagnostic lights 1, 2, and 4 being lit.
Also, you may notice that the hard drive indicator may blink when the hard drive is being accessed by an
external device.
To resume normal computer operation, briefly press the power button, press any key on the keyboard,
move the mouse, or press a button on the optional Microsoft® Window s® XP Media Center
Edition 2005 remote control.

Enabling the QRT Feature in System Setup

The QRT drivers must be installed before the Quick Resume feature becomes active. The QRT drivers
are installed when this option is ordered. Also, Quick Resume is enabled in system setup when this
feature is ordered.
