ACPI Suspend Type (S3(STR))

Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default, S3, the sus-

pend mode is a suspend to RAM, i.e, the system shuts down with the exception

of a refresh current to the system memory.

Soft-Off By PWR-BTTN (Instant Off)

Under ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power management Interface) you can

create a software power down. In a software power down, the system can be

resumed by Wake Up Alarms. This item lets you install a software power down

that is controlled by the power button on your system. If the item is set to

Instant-Off, then the power button causes a software power down. If the item is

set to Delay 4 Sec, then you have to hold the power button down for four seconds

to cause a software power down.

Resume by PCI/PCI-E/Lan PME (Disabled)

These items specify whether the system will be awakened from power saving

modes when activity or input signal of the specified hardware peripheral or compo-

nent is detected.

Resume By RTC Alarm (Disabled)

The system can be turned off with a software command. If you enable this item, the

system can automatically resume at a fixed time based on the system’s RTC

(realtime clock). Use the items below this one to set the date and time of the wake-

up alarm. You must use an ATX power supply in order to use this feature.

PWRON After PWR-Fail (Power Off)

This item enables your computer to automatically restart or return to its operat-

ing status.

Resume By Ring (Disabled)

An input signal on the serial Ring Indicator (RI) line (in other words, an incoming

call on the modem) awakens the system from a soft off state.
