2.11.3 Standby Current Requirements
CAUTION
If the standby current necessary to support multiple wake events from the PCI and/or USB buses
exceeds power supply capacity, the Desktop Boards D845GEBV2 and D845GERG2 may lose
register settings stored in memory, etc. Calculate the standby current requirements using the steps
described below.
Power supplies used with the Desktop Boards D845GEBV2 and D845GERG2 must be able to
provide enough standby current to support the Instantly Available PC (ACPI S3 sleep state)
configuration as outlined in Table 43 below.
Values are determined by specifications such as PCI 2.2. Actual measured values may vary.
To estimate the amount of standby current required for a particular system configuration, standby
current requirements of all installed components must be added to determine the total standby
current requirement. Refer to the descriptions in Table 43 and review the following steps.
1. Note the total Desktop Board D845GEBV2 or D845GERG2 standby current requirement.
2. Add to that the total PS/2 port standby current requirement if a wake-enabled device is
connected.
3. Add, from the PCI 2.2 slots (wake enabled) row, the total number of wake-enabled devices
installed (PCI and AGP) and multiply by the standby current requirement.
4. Add, from the PCI 2.2 slots (nonwake enabled) row, the total number of wake-enabled devices
installed (PCI and AGP) and multiply by the standby current requirement.
5. Add all additional wake-enabled devices’ and nonwake-enabled devices’ standby current
requirements as applicable.
6. Add all the required current totals from steps 1 through 5 to determine the total estimated
standby current power supply requirement.
