Using BIOS
MODEM Use IRQ (3)
If you want an incoming call on a modem to automatically resume the system from
a power-saving mode, use this item to specify the interrupt request line (IRQ) that is
used by the modem. You might have to connect the fax/modem to the motherboard
Wake On Modem connector for this feature to work.
Suspend Mode (Disabled)
The CPU clock will be stopped and the video signal will be suspended if no Power
Management events occur for a specified length of time. Full power function will
return when a Power Management event is detected. Options are from 1 Min to 1
Hour and Disabled.
HDD Power Down (Disabled)
The IDE hard drive will spin down if it is not accessed within a specified length of
time. Options are from 1 Min to 15 Min and Disable.
Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN (Instant-Off)
Under ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power management Interface) you can
create a software power down. In a software power down, the system can be resumed
by Wake Up Alarms. This item lets you install a software power down that is con-
trolled by the power button on your system. If the item is set to Instant-Off, then the
power button causes a software power down. If the item is set to Delay 4 Sec. then
you have to hold the power button down for four seconds to cause a software power
down.
Wake-Up by PCI Card (Enabled)
When this item is enabled, the system power will be turned on if there is any PCI card
activity.
Power On by Ring (Disabled)
If this item is enabled, it allows the system to resume from a software power down or
a power-saving mode whenever there is an incoming call to an installed fax/modem.
You have to connect the fax/modem to the motherboard
Wake Up On LAN (Disabled)
When set to Enabled, the system power will be turned on if the LAN port receives an
incoming signal. You have to connect fax/modem to the motherboard Wake On
LAN connector for this feature to work.
Resume by Alarm (Disabled)
When set to Enabled, additional fields become available and you can set the date (day
of the month), hour, minute and second to turn on your system. When set to 0 (zero)
for the day of the month, the alarm will power on your system every day at the
specified time.
• Date (of Month) Alarm (0): Date (on Month) Alarm lets you select a
day from 1 to 31.
• Time (hh:mm:ss) Alarm (0:0:0): Time Alarm lets you select a time
for the alarm in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Suspend Type (Stop Grant)
If this item is set to the default Stop Grant, the CPU will go into Idle Mode during
power saving mode.
