2-32 Chapter 2: BIOS setup

Restore on AC Power Loss [Power Off]

When set to [Power Off], the system goes into off state after an AC power loss. When set to
[Power On], the system goes on after an AC power loss. When set to [Last State], the system
goes into either off or on state, whatever the system state was before the AC power loss.
Conguration options: [Power Off] [Power On] [Last State].

Power On By RTC Alarm [Disabled]

Allows you to enable or disable RTC to generate a wake event. When this item is set to
[Enabled], the items RTC Alarm Date / RTC Alarm Hour / RTC Alarm Minute / RTC Alarm
Second will become user-congurable with set values.
Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled].

Power On By External Modems [Disabled]

This allows either settings of [Enabled] or [Disabled] for powering up the computer when the
external modem receives a call while the computer is in Soft-off mode. Conguration options:
[Disabled] [Enabled].
The computer cannot receive or transmit data until the computer and applications are fully
running. Thus, connection cannot be made on the rst try. Turning an external modem
off and then back on while the computer is off causes an initialization string that turns the
system power on.
