VIA 693/693A Twin Processor Mainboard
AWARD BIOS SETUP
4-12
When the ACPI function is installed in your PC system successfully, you will find
the ACPI function in the power management icon. The PW switch (mentioned in
Section 3) defined by the ACPI is different to the BIOS setup and it always has
the higher priority than what was defined in the system BIOS.
According to what was defined by the ACPI in Windows 98, the PW switch can
be either the "Standby switch" or "shutdown switch". When "Standby switch" is
selected, the first click on the PW switch will have the PC system turn into
standby mode. If you want to "wake up" the PC system, you will have to use the
devices (such as keyboard, mouse .. etc) which is specified in the Windows 98
ACPI function to trigger the PC system so that it will be back to full-on mode. For
more detail of ACPI function, please refer to Windows 98 user's manual for more
detail information.
