BIOS
After G3 Enable
This option allows AfterG3 Enable support. The settings are Disabled and
Enabled. Disabled prevents the system to power on after power is applied
to the system. Enabled allows the system to power on after power is
applied to the system. This means that if an ATX compliant power supply is
turned hard off or unplugged from the wall (power socket supplying it
power), the computer system will not power back on immediately after the
power cord is reattached or the hard off switch is flipped back on. The
power button on the front of the chassis is usually the soft off, meaning
that there is still power being supplied to the motherboard even though the
system looks completely off. Hard off means that there is not power being
supplied to the system at all. The only power is coming from the backup
battery on the motherboard.
Suspend Power Saving Type
The settings for this option are C2 and S1. The C2 setting allows the CPU
(microprocessor) to be put in a low power state. In this state, incoming
interrupts wake-up the CPU (microprocessor) to process them (I/O APIC).
S1 allows the system to enter the S1 POS (Power On Suspend) state.
While the system is in this state, the CPU is not executing instructions, all
power resources that supply system level reference of S0 are off, system
memory context is maintained, devices that reference power resources that
are on are on, and devices that can wake-up the system can cause the
CPU to continue to execute from where it left off.
Suspend Time Out
This option specifies the length of system inactivity while in the standby
state that should expire before the computer enters a suspend power state.
The settings are Disabled, 1Min, 5Min and 10Min.
Power Button Mode
This option specifies how the external power button on the computer chas-
sis functions. When set to On/Off, depressing the power button turns the
computer on or off. When set to Suspend, depressing the power button
places the computer in Suspend mode or Full On power mode. The Standby
setting places the computer in Standby or Full On mode.
