Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN

This field defines the power-off mode when using an ATX power supply.

There are two modes:

Instant-Off

The mode allows powering off immediately upon

pressing the power button

Delay 4 Sec The system powers off when the power button is

pressed for more than four seconds or places the

system in a very low-power-

usage state, with only

enough circuitry receiving power to detect power

button activity.

Wake-Up by PCI card/Power On by Ring

Enabled <Default> Wake up the system from modem or LAN

Disabled

Disable the modem or LAN to wake up the

system

CPU Thermal-Throttling

When the system enters suspend mode, the CPU clock runs only part of

the time. You may select the percent of time that the clock runs.

87.5% 87.5% time that the CPU clock runs

75.0% 75.0% time that the CPU clock runs

62.5% 62.5% time that the CPU clock runs

50.0% <Default> 50.0% time that the CPU clock runs

37.5% 37.5% time that the CPU clock runs

25.0% 25.0% time that the CPU clock runs

12.5% 12.5% time that the CPU clock runs

Reload Global Timer Events

This section determines the reloading of the ‘timers’ after entering the

Full On. You can enable or disable the monitoring of IRQ 8 (Real Time

Clock) so it does not awaken the system from Suspend mode.

PM Events

The VGA, LPT & COM, HDD & FDD, DMA/master, PWR-On by Modem/LAN,

RTC Alarm Resume and Primary INTR section are I/O events which can

prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the

system from such a mode. 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. If activity is detected from any enabled IRQ

channels, the system wakes up from suspended mode.
