Power Button Function
This item is used to handle Soft Power On/Off regardless of time counting (generally speaking,
it is 4 sec) if you set it to on/off. You can easily turn the system on/off by pressing the power
button (toggle switch) directly. This feature is only available on a system with an ATX power
control interface. If a standard AT power supply is used, this option will be ignored. However,
if you choose the
Suspend
setting, the system will be forced into suspend mode when you turn it
off, unless you can continuously press the power button for more than 4 seconds to access the
Soft Off function.
Resume On Ring
This item will be used to wake up the system from the remote ringing control under the Soft Off
function. If you choose the
Disabled
setting, the system will not be resumed by a modem ring.
PME Function Support
Enable this option to allow your computer to be booted from another computer via a network,
by sending a wake-up frame or signal.
