power management features via Intel-Microsoft
Advanced Power Management software. Once you
have enabled the APM interface, some settings
made in the BIOS Setup program may be overridden
by APM.

when the system is put into suspend mode.

save power.
MODEM Use IRQ
If you want an incoming call on a modem to
automatically resume the system from a power-
saving mode, use this item to specify the interrupt
request line (IRQ) that is used by the modem. You
might have to connect the fax/modem to the
mainboard Wake On Modem connector for this
feature to work.
Soft-Off by
PWRBTN
Under ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
management Interface) you can create a software
power down. In a software power down, the system
can be resumed by Wake Up Alarms. This item lets
you install a software power down that is controlled
by the normal power button on your system. If the
item is set to Instant-Off, then the power button
causes a software power down. If the item is set to
“Delay 4 Sec.” then you have to hold the power
button down for four seconds to cause a software
power down.

power on function.
