Power Management
Please note that the Power Management settings should be left in their default state and
not activated under Windows NT as it is not supported and may cause system instability.
Windows 98, Me, 2000 & Xp
Please note that the Power Management settings should be left in their default state and
not activated
One reason is that Customers have stated that they do not want the system going into
standby as the system could be used at any moment and they do not want to wait while
the system recovers from either a doze or standby mode.
Windows Xp Special Notes
When installing Windows Xp from scratch, you must disable COM 3 & 4 in the Integrated
Peripherals section of the BIOS (First taking note of the settings) before installation has
commenced. Once the installation is complete, these ports can be re-activated. This is an
issue between the VIA chipset and Windows XP’s plug and play hardware detection
routine.
