28 BIOS Setup
LPT & COM Choose LPT/COM (default) or LPT (COM) to
enable the power management timer. Choose
NONE to disable the power management timer.
HDD &FDD Choose On (default) to enable the power
management timer, or Off to disable the power
management timer.
DMA/master Choose Off (default) or On. If you choose the
system ÒOffÓ, will not monitor the signal of
DMA/master; and when you choose ÒOnÓ, the
system will not have SMI signal until the master
is finished while the master is working.
Primary INTR When On (default) is chosen, you can choose
any IRQ #.
IRQ# When set at ÒPrimaryÓ the processor will power
down only after the BIOS detects a Òno IRQ
activityÓ during the time specified by the
Suspend time. If set at ÒSecondary eventÓ the
system will distinguish whether an interrupt
accesses and I/O address or not. If it does, the
system enters the standby mode. If not, the
system enters the dreaming mode; that is the
system goes back full-on status but leaves the
monitor blank. For instance, if the system
connects to a LAN and receives an interrupt
from its file server, the system will enter the
dreaming mode to execute the corresponding
calling routine.
