S MANUAL 

 

 

VIDEO OFF OPTION: 

When enabled, this feature allows the VGA adapter to operate in a power 
saving mode. 

Always On 

Monitor will remain on during power saving modes. 

Suspend --> Off 

Monitor blanked when the systems enters the Suspend 
mode. 

Susp,Stby --> Off 

Monitor blanked when the system enters either Suspend or 
Standby modes. 

All Modes --> Off 

Monitor blanked when the system enters any power saving 
mode. 

 

VIDEO OFF METHOD: 

This determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked. 

V/H SYNC+Blank  This selection will cause the system to turn off the vertical 

and horizontal synchronization ports and write blanks to the 
video buffer. 

Blank Screen 

This option only writes blanks to the video buffer. 

DPMS 

Select this option if your monitor supports the Display 
Power Management Signalling (DPMS) standard of the 
Video Electronics Standards to select video power 
management values. 

 

MODEM USE IRQ: 

This item enable you to name the interrupt request (IRQ) line assigned to 
the modem (if any) on your system. Activity of the selected IRQ always 
awakens the system. 
 

SUSPEND MODE: 

When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except 
the CPU will be shut off. 

 

SOFT-OFF BY PWR-BTTN: 

Pressing the power button for more than 4 seconds forces the system to 
enter the Soft-Off state when the system has “hung”.  The choices are 
Delay 4 Sec and Instant-Off. 
 

WAKE-UP BY PCI CARD: 

An input signal from PME on the PCI card awakens the system from a soft 
off state.
