BDM-610000082 Rev A Chapter 4: Using the cpuModule 67
Power Management
The CMX34GS cpuModule supports various powering mechanisms which allow the cpuModule to monitor
power consumption and temperature, and achieve minimal power consumption states. These unique features
include thermal monitoring and thermal throttling, as well as low power modes including ACPI configurations.
Various wake options are also available to resume normal system power.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
The cpuModule supports several different ACPI low power modes, including the S3, S4, and S5 sleeping states.
These suspend modes are described below:
S3 (Suspend to RAM): Everything in the system is powered off except for the system memory. When
the system wakes from this mode, operating systems allow applications to resume where they left off,
as the state of the application is preserved in memory.
S4 (Hibernate): When the system enters this state, the operating system will save the current state of
applications and relevant data to disk, thus allowing the system RAM to be powered down.
S5 (Soft-Off): The system is in a soft off state, and must be rebooted when it wakes.
Power Button Modes
The soft power button input of the Utility Port 2.0 connector (CN5) can be configured by the operating system
as a suspend button (transition to S3) or as soft power button (transition to S5). Consult your operating system
documentation for information on how to configure it. The power button will always cause a transition to S5 if
pressed for 4 seconds or longer, without interaction from the operating system.
The soft power button of the Utility Port 2.0 connector (CN5) is the only mechanism to wake the system from
S4 and S5.
Low-Power Wake Options
The cpuModule supports several methods of waking from a low power state.
Resume from USB: Operating systems that support S3 permit waking the system from the USB
interfaces. Common USB wake methods include insertion of a USB device, a USB keyboard stroke, or
movement from another USB device, such as mouse.
Resume on RTC Alarm / Timeout: The RTC Alarm allows the system to turn on at a certain time every
day.
Resume on WAKE#: The system can wake when a signal is applied to the WAKE# signal on the
PCIe/104 Type 2 connectors (CN1 & CN2).
Note When the reset button of the Utility Port 2.0 connector is configured as a power button (via the
BIOS setup utility), it inherits the ACPI suspend and resume features of the power button.
