Power Management Setup
This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-
saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending
to RAM, and software power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed
by certain events.
Suspend Mode [Disabled]
The CPU clock will be stopped and the video signal will be suspended if no Power Management
events occur for a specified length of time. Full power function will return when a Power Management
event is detected.
Video Off Option (Susp, Stby —> Off)
This option defines if the video is powered down when the system is put into suspend mode.
Video Off Method (DPMS Supported)
This item defines how the video is powered down to save power. This item is set to DPMS (Display
Power Management Software) by default.
Switch Function (Break/Wake)
This item defines if pressing the power switch will cause the system to wake up from suspend or
standby mode.
MODEM Use IRQ (Auto)
If you want an incoming call on a modem to automatically resume the system from a power-saving
mode, use this item to specify the interrupt request line (IRQ) that is used by the modem. You might
have to connect the fax/modem to the motherboard Wake On Modem connector for this feature to
work.
Hot Key Function As (Power Off)
This option allows you to set the Hot Key functionality to one of the following states: Disable (turn
off Hot Key functionality), Power Off, Suspend.
HDD Off After (Disable)
The IDE hard drive will spin down if it is not accessed within a specified length of time. Options are
from 1 Min to 15 Min and Disable.
Power Button Override (Instant Off)
Under ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power management Interface) you can create a software
power down. In a software power down, the system can be resume by Wake Up Alarms. This item
lets you install a software power down that is controlled by the power button on your system. If the
item is set to Instant-Off, then the power button causes a software power down. If the item is set
to Delay 4 Sec. then you have to hold the power button down for four seconds to cause a software
power down.
