Power Management Setup
The Power Management Setup Menu option is used to change the values of
the chipset registers for system power management.
Power Management Timeouts
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inac-
tive 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
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 Function (Enabled)
This mainboard supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power manage-
ment Interface). Use this item to enable or disable the ACPI feature.
Note:
ACPI is a power management specification that makes hardware status in-
formation available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn its
peripherals on and off for improved power management. It also allows the
PC to be turned on and off by external devices, so that mouse or keyboard
activity wakes up the computer.
ACPI Suspend Type (S1(POS))
Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default, S1(POS),
