Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup
7.RTC Alarm Resume
When Enabled, your can set the date and time at which the RTC (real- time clock) alarm awakens the system from Suspend mode.
8.IRQ Activity Monitoring
By entering this section, you will find a list of IRQ’s, which can be exempted much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a
power management mode nor awaken it.
