4. BIOS SETUP

PWR Up On Modem Act (Enabled)

This allows either settings of Enabled or Disabled for powering up the computer (turns the ATX power supply on) when the modem receives a call while the computer is Soft-off. NOTE: The computer cannot receive or transmit data until the computer and applications are fully running, thus connection cannot be made on the first try. Turning an external modem off and then back on while the computer is off causes an initialization string that will also cause the system to power on.

AC PWR Loss Restart (Disabled)

This allows you to set whether you want your system to boot up after the power has been interrupted. Disabled leaves your system off after reapplying power and Enabled boots up your system after reapplying power.

Power Up By Keyboard (Disabled)

Set this field to Enabled if you wish to use your PS2 keyboard (by pressing the spacebar) to power up your computer. This feature requires an ATX power supply that can supply at least 300mA on the +5VSB lead. The default is set to [Disabled] because not all computers have the appropriate ATX power supply. Your computer will not power ON if you set this to [Enabled] and do not have the appropriate ATX power supply.

Wake On LAN (Disabled)

This allows you to remotely power up your system through your network by sending a wake-up frame or signal. With this feature, you can remotely upload/download data to/from systems during off-peak hours. Enabled sets this feature.

IMPORTANT: This feature requires the optional network interface (see VII. Network Interface) and an ATX power supply with at least 720mA +5V standby power.

Automatic Power Up (Disabled)

This allows you to have an unattended or automatic power up of your system. You may configure your system to power up at a certain time of the day by selecting Everyday, which will allow you to set the time or at a certain time and day by selecting By Date.

Fan Monitor (xxxxRPM)

The onboard hardware monitor is able to detect the Chassis Fan Speed, CPU Fan Speed, and the Power Supply Fan Speed in Rotations Per Minute (RPM). Set to Ignore if one of these are not used so that error messages will not be given.

.....................................................................................................................................

Thermal Monitor (xxxC/xxxF)

The onboard hardware monitor is able to detect the CPU and MB (motherboard) tem- peratures. Set to Ignore only if necessary.

.....................................................................................................................................

Voltage Monitor (xx.xV)

The onboard hardware monitor is able to detect the voltages put out by the voltage regulators. Set to Ignore only if necessary.

NOTE: If any of the monitored items are out of range, an error message will appear: “Hardware Monitor found an error, enter POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP for details”. You will then be prompted to “Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP”.
