Using BIOS
Parallel Port Mode (ECP)
Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. There are four options: SPP
(Standard Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) and ECP+EPP.
SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) are
bi-directional modes, allowing both data input and output. ECP and EPP modes are only supported
with EPP- and ECP-aware peripherals.
ECP Mode Use DMA (3)
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port can use DMA 3 or DMA 1.
Power Management Setup
This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-
saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending
to RAM, and software power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed
by certain events.

HDD Power Down [Disabled]
The IDE hard drive will spin down if it is not accessed within a specified length of time.
Suspend Mode [Disabled]
The CPU clock will be stopped and the video signal will be suspended if no Power Management
events occur for a specified length of time. Full power function will return when a Power Management
event is detected.
Video Off Option (Suspend —> Off)
This option defines if the video is powered down when the system is put into suspend mode.
Video Off Method (V/H SYNC+Blank)
This selection will cause the system to turn off the vertical and horizontal synchronization ports and
write blanks to the video buffer.
MODEM Use IRQ (3)
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 motherboard Wake On Modem connector for this feature to
work.
Soft-Off by PWRBTN (Instant-Off)
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
