You can use the arrow keys to move between the items. Use "PgUP",
"PgDn", "+" and "-" to change the values. When you have finished setting up
the chipset, press "ESC" to go back to the main menu.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M:
This option is used to free up the 15M-16M memory block. Some
special peripherals need to use a memory bloc located between
15M and 16M, and this memory block has a size of 1M. We
recommend that you disable this option.
Thermal & Fan Monitor:
These items list current states of system temperature and fan
speed. It can not be changed by user.
Voltage Monitor:
This items lists the voltage states of the system power. Just like
Thermal & Fan Monitor, it is unchangeable.
There are small differences in the chipset feature setup according to different
mainboard models, but this has no influence upon performance. Our default
setup should be the best one. That is the reason why we do not describe all
the features of this menu.
Power Management Setup Menu
The difference between Green PCs and traditional computers is that Green
PCs have a power management feature. With this feature, when the computer
is powered on but inactive, the power consumption is reduced in order to save
energy. When the computer operates normally, it is in Normal mode. In this
mode, the Power Management Program will control the access to video,
parallel ports, serial ports and drives, and the operating status of the keyboard,
mouse and other device. These are referred to as Power Management Events.
In cases where none of these events occur, the system enters the power
saving mode. When one of the controlled events occurs, the system
immediately returns to normal mode and operates at its maximum speed.
Power saving modes can be divided into three modes according to their power
consumption: Doze Mode, Standby Mode , and Suspend Mode. The four
modes proceed in the following sequence:
Normal Mode===> Doze Mode===> Standby Mode===> Suspend Mode
