3Award BIOS Setup Utility

USB Resume from S3

This function, when enabled, allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system that is in the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

VGA

When set to On, the system will respond and wake up to any VGA activity

LPT & COM

Select the port you would like the system to respond and wake up when an event occurs on that port.

HDD & FDD

When set to On, the system will respond and wake up to any hard drive or floppy drive activity.

PCI Master

When set to On, the system will respond and wake up to any PCI or bus master activity

Resume on PCI Event

Set this field to Enabled if your PCI card such as LAN card or modem card uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal to remotely wake up the PC . Refer to the card’s documentation for more information.

Resume On LAN/Ring

This field allows you to enable the Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring functions.

If you are using a LAN card that supports the remote wake up function, set this field to Enabled. The will allow the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can wake up the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt. Your LAN card must support the remote wake up function. Refer to “Wake-On-LAN Connector” in chapter 2 for more information.
