All Modes--> Off

Monitor blanked when system enters any power-saving mode.

 

 

Video Off Method

Determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked. The Blank Screen option will let the system BIOS blank the screen when disabling video. V/H sync+Blank will allow the system BIOS to turn off the V-SYNC and H-SYNC signals running from the VGA card to the monitor.

MODEMUseIRQ

If Modem Ring Resume is Enabled, it is possible to wake the system by dialing in to it. This field determines which IRQ will be monitored for the incoming call.

Soft-Off by PWRBTN

When you select Instant Off or Delay 4 Sec., turning the system off with the on/off button places the system in a very low power usage state, either immediately or after 4 seconds, with only enough circuitry receiving power to detect wake-up event activity.
