SE7501WV2 ACPI Implementation

Intel® Server Board SE7501WV2 TPS

7.1.2Wake up Sources (ACPI and Legacy)

The SE7501WV2 server board is capable of wake up from several sources under a non-ACPI configuration, e.g., when the operating system does not support ACPI. The wake up sources are defined in the following table. Under ACPI, the operating system programs the ICH3-S and SIO to wake up on the desired event, but in legacy mode, the BIOS enables/disables wake up sources based on an option in BIOS Setup. It is required that the operating system or a driver will clear any pending wake up status bits in the associated hardware (such as the Wake on LAN status bit in the LAN application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or PCI power management event (PME) status bit in a PCI device). The legacy wake up feature is disabled by default.
