44 Power Management
PM Control by APM: When set to “Yes” (default), the system
BIOS will wait for APM’s prompt before it enters any power man-
agement mode. If your system power management is controlled by
APM and there is a task running, the APM will not prompt the BIOS

Note: If APM is not installed, this option has no effect.
APM (Advanced Power Management) should be installed to keep the
system’s time updated when the computer enters suspend mode acti-

Power Management System) feature. The “Blank Screen” option is

MODEM Use IRQ: This determines which IRQ the MODEM can

Power Management events occur for a specified length of time. Full
power function will return when a Power Management event is de-
tected. Options are from “30 Sec” to “1 Hour” and “Disabled.”
Suspend Mode: The CPU clock will be stopped and the video signal
will be suspended if no Power Management events occur for a speci-
