Suspend Time Out (minute)
This option specifies the length of the period of system inactivity when the computer is already in
Standby mode before the computer is placed in suspend mode. In suspend mode, nearly all power
use is curtailed. The settings are Disabled, 1 min., 2 min., and all one minute intervals up to 15 Min.
The default settings are Disabled .
Display Activity
This option specifies if AMIBIOS is to monitor activity on the display monitor for power conserva-
tion purposes. When this option is set to Monitor and there is no display activity for the length of
time specified in the value in the Standby TimeOut minute option, the computer enters a power
saving state. The settings are Monitor or Ignore . The default settings are Ignore`.
Hard Disk Activity
Misc IRQ (8,10,11,12,15)
Serial and Parallel Ports
These options enable event monitoring. When the computer is in a power saving mode, activity on
the named interrupt request line is monitored by AMIBIOS. When any activity occurs, the com-
puter enters Full On mode. Each of these options can be set to Monitor or Ignore . The default
setting are Ignore .
PCI/PNP Setup
PCI/PnP Setup options are displayed by choosing the PCI/PnP Setup icon from WINBIOS Setup
main menu. All PCI/PnP Setup options are described in this section.
Plug and play Aware OS

AMIBIOS only detects and enables PnP ISA adapter cards that are required for system boot. The
Windows 95 operating system detects and enables all other PnP-aware adapter cards. Windows 95
is PnP-aware. Set this option to No if the operating system (such as DOS, OS/2, Windows 3.x) does
not use PnP. You must set this option correctly or PnP-aware adapter cards installed in your com-
puter will not be configured properly . The settings are No or Yes . The Optimal and Fail-Safe default
settings are No .
