Power Management Setup
This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-
saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending
to RAM, and software power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed
by certain events.
HDD Power Down [Disabled]
The IDE hard drive will spin down if it is not accessed within a specified length of time.
Suspend Mode [Disabled]
The CPU clock will be stopped and the video signal will be suspended if no Power
Management events occur for a specified length of time. Full power function will return
when a Power Management event is detected.
Video Off Option (Suspend —> Off)
This option defines if the video is powered down when the system is put into suspend
mode.
Video Off Method (V/H SYNC+Blank)
This selection will cause the system to turn off the vertical and horizontal synchroniza-
tion ports and write blanks to the video buffer.
MODEM Use IRQ (3)
If you want an incoming call on a modem to automatically resume the system from a
power-saving mode, use this item to specify the interrupt request line (IRQ) that is used
by the modem. You might have to connect the fax/modem to the motherboard Wake On
Modem connector for this feature to work.
