2.11 External Suspend Switch Lead (SMI) (J3)
This allows the user to manually place the system into a suspend mode or "Green" mode when the system is not in use. System activity is decreased to save electricity and prolong the life of certain compo- nents. The 2-pin connector connects to the case-mounted suspend switch. If you do not have a switch for the connector, you may use the "turbo switch", because it does not have any other function. SMI is activated when it detects a "short to open" moment. Therefore, leaving it shorted will not cause any problems. It may require one or two pushes
depending on the position of the switch. Wake-up can be controlled by settings in the BIOS, but the keyboard will always allow wake-up. (The SMI lead cannot wake up the system.) If you want to use the SMI connector, the "Suspend" switch in the Power Management Setup of the BIOS software should be on the default setting "Enable".
