MODEM Use IRQ
This category is used to set an IRQ channel (IRQ 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 or
11) for the external modem installed in your system. However, if the
Resume on Ring or Resume on LAN field is disabled, the BIOS will
mask the IRQ assigned for the modem. This is to prevent the modem
or LAN from waking up the system when it is in the Suspend mode.
Standby Mode
This is user configurable only when the Power Management category
is set to User Defined. When enabled and after the set time of
system inactivity, video will be shut off while all other devices still
operate at full speed.
Suspend Mode
This is user configurable only when the Power Management category
is set to User Defined. When enabled and after the set time of system
inactivity, the CPU and onboard peripherals will be shut off.
HDD Power Down
This is user configurable only when the Power Management category
is set to User Defined. When enabled and after the set time of system
inactivity, the hard disk drive will be powered down while all other
devices remain active.
