Award BIOS Setup Program
D. Video Off Method
This function serves as both a screen saver and power saver for monitors.
See the next function, Video Off After, for setting the video timer.
Blank
-
BIOS will only blank the monitor's screen. The electricity saved in
this mode is negligible and this function is only used as a screen saver to
prevent screen damage while the screen is on but not in use.
V/H SYNC+Blank
-
The system turns off the vertical and horizontal
synchronization ports, writes blanks to the VGA buffer and the monitor's
electron gun turns off. This function requires a monitor with Green features
in order to take advantage of the power saving function. If you enable this
function and do not have a Green monitor, the result will be the same as if
you had selected Blank. This function serves as both a screen saver and a
power saver.
DPMS Supported
-
Select this option if your video card supports the
Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard (i.e., you have a
monitor that supports Green features). Use software supplied by your video
subsystem to set video power management options.
E. Modem Use IRQ
If your computer has an modem, use this function to tell BIOS which IRQ is being
occupied by the modem card. When the system is in Green mode, the modem
requires an IRQ assignment to wake up the system and perform tasks. This
assignment is compliant with the APM 1.2 specification and is to be used in
coordination with APM 1.2 compliant operating systems.
F. Soft-Off by PWR-BTN
When set to Delay 4 Sec., this function allows the power button to put the system
in Suspend, a power saving mode. See Section 2-4 for operation instructions of
the override power button operation which puts the system in Suspend mode.
When set to Instant-Off the Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN function is disabled and the
computer turns completely off when the power button is pressed.
G.Wake Up Events
Wake Up On LAN/PCI Card
When enabled, a LAN/PCI Card interface that receives a signal will wake up the
system from soft off and green mode.
Power On By Modem
When enabled, a modem that receives a ring signal will wake up the system from
soft off and green mode. You should connect the modem to the COM port
and turn on the resume event in green mode.
RTC Alarm Resume
When enabled, this setting allows the system to turn back on at a designated
time of the month. User must designate date of month and time of day.
