Auto Configuration: This option allows (Enable) or prevents (Disable) the BIOS from using default values for Auto Configuration. ä When you select Enable, the BIOS will automatically use the values related to DRAM. You will not be able to set up the following options. ä When you select Disable, you can manually set up DRAM options. Introduction to BIOS 3-13 Attention:Unless you are very familiar with your computer and with the DRAM configuration and speed, we recommend you do not change the DRAM options but enable this option. There are small differences in the chipset feature setup according to different mainboard models, but this has no influence on performance. That is why we do not describe all the features of this menu. 3-14 Chapter 3 , , Power Management Setup Menu The difference between Green PCs and traditional computers is that Green PCs have a power management feature. With this feature, when the computer is powered on but inactive, the power consumption is reduced in order to save energy. When the computer operates normally, it is in Normal mode. In this mode, the Power Management Program will control the access to video, parallel ports, serial ports and drives, and the operating status of the keyboard, mouse and other device. These are referred to as Power Management Events. In cases where none of these events occur, the system enters the power saving mode. When one of the controlled events occurs, the system immediately returns to normal mode and operates at its maximum speed. Power saving modes can be divided into three modes according to their power consumption: Doze Mode, Standby Mode , and Suspend Mode. The four modes proceed in the following sequence: Normal Mode ===> Doze Mode ===> Standby Mode ===> Suspend Mode The system consumption is reduced according the following sequence: Normal > Doze > Standby > Suspend 1. In the Main Menu, select "Power Management Setup" and press "Enter". The following screen is displayed: Fig 3-5 Power Management Setup Menu Introduction to BIOS 3-15 2.

After you have configured the Power Management feature, press "Esc" to go back to the Main Menu. We are now going to briefly explain the options in this menu: Power Management: Four options: ä ä User Define User Define defines the delay for accessing the power modes. Min Saving When the three saving modes are enabled, the system is set up for minimum power savings. Doze = 1 hour Standby = 1 hour Suspend = 1 hour Max Saving When the three saving modes are enabled, the system is set up for maximum power savings. [. . . ] 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.
