Primary INTR
Selecting ON will cause the system to wake up from power saving
modes if activity is detected from any enabled IRQ channels.
Settings: ON, OFF.
IRQ 3~IRQ15
Enables or disables the monitoring of the specified IRQ line. If
set to Enabled, the activity of the specified IRQ line will prevent
the system from entering power saving modes or awaken it from
power saving modes. Available options are: Enabled, Disabled.
Note: IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources
allocated to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain
attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an
IRQ to occur. After receiving the signal, when the operating
system is ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the
service required by the I/O device.
