Power Management Setup
The Power Management Setup Menu option is used to change the values of
the chipset registers for system power management.
Power Management Timeouts
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inac-
tive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If the inactivity continues so that
the timeout period elapses, the system enters a power-saving mode. If any
item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on
that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.
Wake Up Calls
If the system is suspended, or has been powered down by software, it can be
resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a
LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock.
Suspend Mode (Disabled)
After the selected period of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU shut
off.
Video Off Option (Susp, Stby --> Off)
This option defines if the video is powered down when the system is put into
suspend mode.
Video Off Method (DPMS Supported)
This item defines how the video is powered down to save power. This item is
set to DPMS (Display Power Management Software) by default.
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
