The AMR is a new modular specification that integrates the audio modem functions on the motherboard by assigning the analog functions to a riser card Integration of the audio modem function enhances system capa bilities while reducing costs The AMR interface is based on AC link that is compliant with Intel s Audio Codec 97 version 2 1 specification SUPER 370SWD 370SWT 370SWM Manual Firmware Hub FWH The FWH is a component that brings added security and managability to the PC platform infrastructure This device includes an integrated Random Num ber Generator RNG to enable stronger encryption digital signing and se curity protocols The FWW stores the system BIOS and video BIOS which eliminates a redundant nonvolatile memory component 5 o A 5 Suspend to RAM STR When the system goes into a deep sleep S3 state power is removed from most of the system components but remains supplied to RAM to quickly restore the system to its previous state of operation Because system restoration happens in only 5 seconds applications that were open before the sleep state can be reopened for immediate access In STR all data in system memory is stored in RAM when the system is suspended and sys tem power is turned off the power supply fan also shuts off You must be running ACPI for this feature to take effect See page 1 19 for details on initiating ACPI All drivers and add on cards
