4.8. Power Management Support
The Intel 430MX PCIset power management provides flexible mechanisms to help the operating system and
system software manage the use of system resources for the lowest possible power consumption while
providing the best performance to the user.
MPIIX uses several mechanisms to help the power management software initiate and manage the transitions
between the power managed states. These include System-wide and Local Peripheral Event Monitors to identify
idle and wake-up conditions, Intel’s System Management Interrupt (SMI#) support, Advanced Power
Management (APM) interface, and Pentium® Processor STPCLK# Clock Control, and Suspend/Resume
Hardware. MPIIX provides the following 3 basic areas of power management:
• CPU Standby. When the operating system, application program, or system software is not doing useful
work, the CPU complex (CPU, DRAM, L2 Cache) does not need to be executing cycles and can therfore be
placed in a CPU Standby mode.
• Local Standby. When a local peripheral, such as IDE hard disk or COM port, has not been used for a
specified amount of time, that peripheral can be placed in a Local Standby mode.
• System Suspend. When the entire system has been idle for a specified amount of time or a critical system
event occurs, such as a battery low condition, the system will be put in it’s lowest power state.
