Introduction of BIOS 3-23
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. The CPU stops working completely.
If this mode is disabled, the system will not enter the Suspend mode.
Throttle Duty Cycle:
This is used to specify the CPU speed in saving mode. Seven options are
available: 12.5%, 25.0%, 37.5%, 50.0%, 62.5%, 75.0% or 87.5%.
CPU Fan Off In Suspend:
CPU fan can be turn off in suspend mode.
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.
Break Event From Suspend:
Support ACPI RTC Alarm Function (via IRQ8).
Reload Global Timer Events
When one of the speficied 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 speficied 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.
Resume by Ring:
Special function supports by ATX power supply. To connect a external
EODEM with the build-in serial port, the system will be turned on when
telephone ring-up.
