Device 3 (Secondary Slave IDE) When set to Monitor, these options
enable event monitoring on the specified hardware
interrupt request line. If set to Monitor and the computer
is in a power saving state, AMIBIOS watches for activity
on the specified IRQ line. The computer enters the Full
On state if any activity occurs. AMIBIOS reloads the
Standby and Suspend timeout timers if activity occurs on
the specified IRQ line.
The settings for each of these options are Monitor or
Ignore. The Optimal default setting is Ignore, except for
Device 0 (Primary Master IDE), which has an Optimal
default setting of Monitor. The Fail-Safe default setting is
Monitor.
