BIOS SETUP

Video Off Method

This field defines the Video Off features. There are three options.

V/H SYNC + Blank

Default setting, blank the screen and turn

 

off vertical and horizontal scanning.

DPMS

Allows BIOS to control the video display.

Blank Screen

Writes blanks to the video buffer.

Video Off In Suspend

When enabled, the video is off in suspend mode. The default setting is Yes.

Suspend Type

The default setting for the Suspend Type field is Stop Grant.

Modem Use IRQ

This field sets the IRQ used by the Modem. By default, the setting is 3.

Suspend Mode

When enabled, and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU will be shut off.

HDD Power Down

When enabled, and after the set time of system inactivity, the hard disk drive will be powered down while all other devices remain active.

Soft-Off by PWRBTN

This field defines the power-off mode when using an ATX power supply. The Instant Off mode allows powering off immediately upon pressing the power button. In the Delay 4 Sec mode, the system powers off when the power button is pressed for more than four seconds or enters the suspend mode when pressed for less than 4 seconds.

Wake up by PCI Card

By default, this field is disabled.

Power On by Ring

This field enables or disables the power on of the system through the modem connected to the serial port or LAN.
