an IRQ assignment to wake up the system and perform tasks. This assignment is
complaint with the APM 1.2 complaint operating systems.
Suspend Mode
The Power Management function must not be set to disabled to enable this function. If
the system runs in Standby mode and the Suspend timer expires, all devices regulated

Resources Controlled By
When set to Manual the system BIOS will not refer to the ESCD for IRQ & DMA
information. Instead, it will refer to the items in the setup menu for assigning IRQ &
DMA. When set to Auto the system BIOS will refer to the ESCD for all legacy
information. ESCD (
Extended System Configuration Data
) provides a detailed
format of the configuration data structures stored in flash memory. Each data structure
defines the resources used by a device or a card in the system. This includes legacy and
PCI/ISA PnP devices.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
When set to [Enabled], multiple VGA devices operating on different buses can handle
data from the CPU on each set of palette registers on every video device. Bit 5 of the
