Chapter 1: Overview Processor and Chipset Overview Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E5-2600v3 series processors (Socket R3) and the Intel C612 PCH, the X10DRU-i+ motherboard provides the best balanced solution of performance, power efficiency, and features ideal for enterprise computing and traditional data center environments.
X10DRU-i+ Motherboard User’s Manual Special Features Recovery from AC Power Loss The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to the power-on state.
Chapter 1: Overview 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.
Intel Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available ® when the Supermicro Power Manager "SPM" is Installed) The Intel Intelligent Power Node Manager 3.0 (IPNM) provides your system with ® real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency.
The following statements are industry-standard warnings, provided to warn the user of situations which have the potential for bodily injury. Should you have questions or experience difficulty, contact Supermicro's Technical Support department for assis- tance. Only certified technicians should attempt to install or configure components.
