Power Management Setup
This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-saving modes
including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending on RAM, and software power down
that allows the system to be automatically resumed by certain events.
TACPI Function (Enabled): Use this item to enable or disable the ACPI function.
TACPI Suspend Type (S3(STR)): Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default,
S3 (STR), the suspend mode is a suspend on RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the exception
of a refresh current to the system memory.
TRun VGA BIOS if S3 Resume (Auto): This item allows the system to initialize the VGA BIOS from
S3 (Suspend on RAM) sleep state.
TPower Management (User Define): Use this item to enable or disable a power management
scheme. If you enable power management, you can use the items below to set the power
management operation.
TVideo Off Method: This item defines how the video is powered down to save power. This item is
set for DPMS (Display Power Management Software) by default.
TSuspend Type (Stop Grant): If this item is set to the default Stop Grant, the CPU will go into Idle
Mode during power saving power.
TModem 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 main board Wake On
Modem connector for the feature to work.
TSuspend Mode (Disabled): This item allows you to enable or disable the suspend mode.
THDD Power Down (Disabled): The IDE hard drive will spin down if it is not accessed within a
specified length of time.
TSoft-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 controlled by the power button on your system. If the item is set for Instant-Off, then the power
button causes a software power down. If the item is set for Delay four Sec., then you have to hold
