BIOS Setup

LPT & COM

Choose LPT/COM (default) or LPT (COM) to

 

enable the power management timer. Choose

 

NONE to disable the power management timer.

HDD &FDD

Choose On (default) to enable the power

 

management timer, or Off to disable the power

 

management timer.

DMA/master

Choose Off (default) or On. If you choose the

 

system ÒOffÓ, will not monitor the signal of

 

DMA/master; and when you choose ÒOnÓ, the

 

system will not have SMI signal until the master

 

is finished while the master is working.

Primary INTR

When On (default) is chosen, you can choose

 

any IRQ #.

IRQ#

When set at ÒPrimaryÓ the processor will power

 

down only after the BIOS detects a Òno IRQ

 

activityÓ during the time specified by the

 

Suspend time. If set at ÒSecondary eventÓ the

 

system will distinguish whether an interrupt

 

accesses and I/O address or not. If it does, the

 

system enters the standby mode. If not, the

 

system enters the dreaming mode; that is the

 

system goes back full-on status but leaves the

 

monitor blank. For instance, if the system

 

connects to a LAN and receives an interrupt

 

from its file server, the system will enter the

 

dreaming mode to execute the corresponding

 

calling routine.

3.After you have finished with the Power Management Setup, press the <ESC> key to return to the Main Menu.
