The options are: LPT/COM, LPT, COM, NONE.

HDD & FDD

ON

 will enable the power management timers when no activity event is

detected in the hard drive and floppy drive. 

OFF

 disables the PM timer

even if no activity event is detected. The options are: OFF, ON.

PCI Master

To set this feature at ON activates that Power Management feautre (PM)

wake-up event for the PCI bus master card.

The options are: OFF, ON.

When set at Enabled, any PCI-PM event awakes the system from a PCI-

PM controlled state.

The options are Disabled or Enabled.

Power On By Modem/Lan

When set at Enabled, an input signal comes from modem or from the other

client/server on the LAN awakes the system from a soft off state if con-

nected over LAN. The options are Disabled or Enabled.
