Power Management Setup
This option lets you control system power management. The system has vari-
ous power-saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off
the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down that allows the sys-
tem to be automatically resumed by certain events.
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the s ystem 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.
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 realti me 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.
