Power Management Setup Option
This option displays items that let you control the system power
management. Modern operating systems take care of much of
the power management. This mainboard supports ACPI (Ad-
vanced Configuration and Power Interface). The system has
various power saving modes including powering down the hard
disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and a software
power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed
by certain events.
Power Management Timeouts
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the
system is inactive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If the
inactivity continues so that the timeout period elapses, the sys-
tem enters a power-saving mode. If any item in the list of Reload
Global Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on that item
will reset the timeout counters to zero.
Wake Up Calls
If the system is suspended, or has been powered down by soft-
ware, it can be resumed by a wake up call that is generated by
incoming traffic to a modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed
alarm on the system realtime clock,
