[. . . ] If this mode is disabled, the system will enter the next mode in the sequence (Suspend mode). Suspend Mode: When the setting selected for "Power Management" is "User Define", you can define for this mode any delay from 1 minute to 1 hour. If no power management event occurs during this time period, meaning the computer is inactive during this period, the system will enter the Suspend power saving mode. If this mode is disabled, the system will not enter the Suspend mode. HDD Power Down: If the system has not accessed data on the hard disk drive during the specified time period, the engine of the HDD will stop in order to save electricity. You can set 1 to 15 minutes or select Disable according to your use of the HDD. Throttle Duty Cycle: This is used to specify the CPU speed in power saving mode. Seven options are available: 12. 5%, 25. 0%, 37. 5%, 50. 0%, 62. 5% or 75. 0%. Power Button Override: Support ACPI Power Button Over-ride. The user presses the power button for more then four seconds while the system is in the working state, then the system will transition to the soft-off(Power off by software). This is called the power button over-ride. 3-26 Chapter 3 Resume by LAN: To enable this feature, you must make sure your network software and network adapter (LAN card) support such a function. This function is also called " Wake on LAN " (WOL). Power on by Ring: If you connect an external modem to the onboard serial port, the system will be turned on when a telephone ring-up occurs. Power on by Alarm: RTC alarm can turn on the system. You can set date ( of month ) and time ( hour , minute , second ). PM Timer Events: When one of the specific occurs, the count down made for entry in power saving mode goes back to zero. Since the computer will enter a power saving mode only after an inactivity delay specified (time specific for Doze, Standby and Suspend modes) and after it has no activity, during this time period, any event will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. Resume events are operations or signals that cause the computer to resume time counting. ³IRQ [3-7, 9-15], NMI: If any IRQ or NMI (Non-Mask Interrupt) activities occur, this will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. ³VGA Active Monitor: If there is any VGA data transfer or any I/O activities, this will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. ³IRQ8 Break Suspend: Supports the RTC alarm wake up from suspend function (via IRQ8). ³IDE Primary Master: If any IDE primary master I/O activity occurs, it will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. ³IDE Primary Slave: If any IDE primary slave I/O activity occurs, it will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. ³IDE Secondary Master: If any IDE secondary master I/O activity occurs, it will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. Introduction of BIOS 3-27 ³IDE Secondary Slave: If any IDE secondary slave I/O activity occurs, it will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. ³Floppy Disk: If any floppy disk I/O activity occurs, it will cause the computer to recount the time elapsed. ³Serial Port: If any serial port I/O activity occurs, it will cause the computer to recount the time elapsed. ³Parallel Port: If any IDE secondary master I/O activity occurs, it will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. ³Mouse Break Suspend: Four options are available: YesÎNo (COM1) ÎNo (COM2) ÎNo (PS/2) ÎBack to Yes. 3-28 Chapter 3 (6) PNP/PCI Configuration In this menu, you can change the INT# and IRQ of the PCI bus and the onboard I/O device, I/O port address and other hardware settings. Fig 3-7 PNP/PCI Configuration Menu PNP OS Installed: Device resource assigned by PnP OS or BIOS. Force Update ESCD: If you want to clear ESCD data next time you boot up, and ask the BIOS to reset the settings for the Plug & Play ISA Card and the PCI Card, select Enabled. But the next time you boot up, this option will automatically be set as Disabled. [. . . ] This problem may be due to the Sound Card Driver. procedure, press SHIFT (BY-PASS) key, to skip CONFIG. SYS and AUTOEXEC. BAT; edit CONFIG. SYS with a text editor, and in function the line that loads the Sound Card Driver, add a remark REM, in order to disable the Sound Card Driver. CONFIG. SYS: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM. SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386. EXE HIGHSCAN DOS=HIGH, UMB FILES=40 BUFFERS=36 REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\PLUGPLAY\DWCFGMG. SYS LASTDRIVE=Z Restart the system. If the system starts and does not reset, you can be sure that the problem is due to the Sound Card Driver. [. . . ]
