PNP OS Installed 

 

This item allows you to determine if a PnP OS is installed or not. 

 

Reset Configuration Data 

 

Normally, you leave this field Disabled.  If you have installed a new add-on and 

the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating 

system cannot boot then select Enabled. Selecting Enabled will reset the Ex-

tended System Configuration Data (ESCD). 

!

RTC Alarm Resume  

When enabled, you can use the following two fields to select the time and 

date to wake up the PC system from power saving mode. 

 

!

Date (of Month)/Resume Time (hh:mm:ss)  

  When RTC Alarm Resume is enabled, your can set the date and time at which 

the RTC (real-time clock) alarm awakens the system from Suspend mode. 

 

!

IRQs Activity Monitoring 

The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted 

much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can.  When an I/O device wants 

to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an 

IRQ to occur.  When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, 

it interrupts itself and performs the service.
