AMAZING WAYS TO POWER ON THE PC SYSTEM
When the mainboard has been installed successfully, there are several ways to
power on the system. Please read the following description for all the details.
¨
POWER BUTTON
The power button can be programmed by COMS setup program and it has different
features. Please refer to page 3-12 for detail function description.
¨
RTC ALARM
PC system can be started up by the RTC setting in the CMOS. You can set the
alarming date and time in the RTC memory, When RTC alarms, the PC system will
be triggered and waked up automatically on the date and time which you selected in
the BIOS setup program.
Enable the "RTC Alarm Resume” selection in the BIOS setup utility, and then you
will see the input request for the date and time. (the " RTC Alarm Resume” is
located in the "POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, please refer to Section 4.8),
When you have stored the RTC alarm setting, the PC system will be turned on
automatically according to the date and time which is recorded in the CMOS
memory.
¨
MODEM RING-IN
The PC system can be used as a fax machine to send or receive fax messages. But
most people still use fax machine to receive their messages because it is not
practical to have the system powered on all day long waiting for the incoming
messages. Now the problem can be solved because this mainboard can be triggered
by a modem ring-in signal.
When you have a
external
modem
installed, you can leave the PC system power
off. Whenever there is the incoming message, the PC system will be triggered by
the ring-in signal and wake up automatically to receive the message for you. From
now on, you can tell your PC system to receive the fax message for you.
In order to use the ring-in signal to wake up your PC system, you will have to use
the
EXTERNAL MODEM
and have it connected to one of the
SERIAL PORTS
