Power On by Ring/LAN
–
An input signal on the serial Ring Indicator (RI) line (in other
words, an incoming call on the modem) will power on the system. With a LAN card
installed, the Wake-up On LAN function allows the network to wake up a Soft Power Down
(Soft-Off) PC. Refer to “Wake-up On LAN Connector” on page 17 for more information.
Power On by Alarm
-
When enabled, the system will automatically power on at the time
and date of the month (0 for daily) specified.
IRQ 8 Break Suspend

When
IRQ 8 Clock Event
is enabled, the unmasked IRQ8 will
generate a Fast Burst Timer reload or stop break event.

IRQ[3-7, 9-15], NMI: Enable an unmasked IRQ [3-7, 9-15], NMI, when asserted, reload the
Global Standby Timer.

nterconnect Bus was developed by Intel and other industry
leader partners primarily to address two important issues faced by PC hardware designers
today: a) How to allow peripheral devices to take the fullest advantage of the power of
Pentium and Pentium Pro chip technology, and b) Provide a simpler installation process for
peripheral devices, such as Network cards, EIDE or SCSI controllers.
PCI accomplishes these goals with its 32-bit Data path Local Bus design, and support for
Plug & Play. Unlike older expansion bus architectures, PCI provides peripherals with a
direct connection to the CPU and memory. The PCI bus runs at 33Mhz and has a maximum
transfer capability of 132MBps. With Plug & Play, the system BIOS automatically
determines hardware resources for new peripherals, simplifying installation of multiple
interface cards.
