Using BIOS
four options: SPP (Standard Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port),
ECP(Extended Capabilities Port) and ECP+EPP.
SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced
Parallel Port (EPP) are bi-directional modes, allowing both data input and output.
ECP and EPP modes are only supported with EPP- and ECP-aware peripherals.
ECP Mode Use DMA (3)
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port can use
DMA 3 or DMA 1.
IDE HDD Block Mode (Enabled)
Enable this field if your IDE hard drive supports block mode. Block mode enables
BIOS to automatically detect the optimal number of block read and writes per
sector that the drive can support. It also improves the speed of access to IDE
devices.
Init Display First (PCI Slot)
Use this item to specify whether your graphics adapter is installed in one of the
PCI slots or is integrated on the motherboard.
Power Management Setup Option
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.
Power Management Timeouts Power Management Timeouts
Power Management Timeouts Power Management Timeouts
Power Management Timeouts
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inactive
for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If the inactivity continues so that the
timeout period elapses, the system enters a power-saving mode. If any item in
the list of Reload Global Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on that
item will reset the timeout counters to zero.
Wake Up Calls Wake Up Calls Wake Up Calls Wake Up Calls Wake Up Calls
If the system is suspended, or has been powered down by software, it can be
resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a
LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock.
ACPI Suspend Type (S3(STR))
Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default, S1(POS), the
suspend mode is equivalent to a software power down. If you select S3 (STR),
the suspend mode is a suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the
exception of a refresh current to the system memory.
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
powerfunction will return when a Power Management event is detected. Options
are from 1 Min to 1 Hour and Disable.
