When set to
Monitor
, these options enable event monitoring on the specified
hardware device. If set to
Monitor
and the computer is in a power saving state,
BIOS watches for activity on the device with specified IRQ line. The computer
enters the full on power state if any activity occurs. BIOS reloads the Standby
and Suspend timeout timers if activity occurs on the specified device. No
monitoring activity occurs if the option is set to
Ignore
. The settings for each of
these options are Monitor or Ignore.
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 power on/off system by
pressing power button (toggle switch) directly. This feature is only available on
system with ATX power control interface. If you use standard AT power supply,
this option will be ignored. However choose the “Suspend” setting , system will be
forced into suspend mode when user turn it off unless you can consecutively press
the power button for more than 4 second to get in Soft off
function.

This item will be used to wake up system from remote ringing control under
Soft Off condition. If you choose “Disabled” setting, the system will be not

4.8 PCI/Plug and Play Setup
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing CPU’s when they communicate with own special components.
All of options described in this section are important and technical and it is strongly
recommended that only experienced users could make any changes to the default
settings.
Plug and Play Aware O/S
Set this option to “Yes” if the operating system installed in the computer is Plug and
Play-aware. BIOS 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.
