Microsoft OnNow The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive system wide approach to system and device power control OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears to be off and responds immediately to user or other reguests Slow Blinking LED for Suspend State Indicator When the CPU goes into a suspend state the chassis power LED will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode When the user presses any key the CPU will wake up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on BIOS Support for USB Keyboard If a USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system it will function like a normal keyboard during system boot up Main Switch Override Mechanism When an ATX power supply is used the power button can function as a system suspend button When the user depresses the power button the system will enter a SoftOff state The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down Depressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake up Dur ing the SoftOff state the ATX power supply provides power to keep the reguired circuitry in the system alive In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power just depress and hold the power button for 4 seconds The power will turn off and no power will be provided to the serverboard Wake On Ring Header JWOR Wake up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing when the system is in the
