Thanks for the tip, Anyway, here's my workaround with this Intel Server Board STL2, the BIOS uses ACPI, according to the documentation of linux kernel (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/pm.txt) the ACPI is a replacement for APM. even I execute halt or poweroff it will never turn off the server. I visited http://acpid.sourceforge.net and downloaded the acpid and the acpica, according to them, acpi of kernel 2.4 is still in developement so they have (i think a rewrite) acpi driver in order to have a power management in the latest kernel. Their latest acpica source is with linux-2.4.10 and now i can exec `#poweroff` turn off this server.
