Award BIOS Setup Utility
Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN
This category allows you to select the method of powering off your
system.
Hold 4 Sec.
Regardless of whether the Power Management field
is enabled or disabled, if the power button is
pushed and released in less than 4 sec, the system
enters the Suspend mode. The purpose of this
function is to prevent the system from powering off
in case you accidentally “hit” or pushed the power
button. Push and release again in less than 4 sec to
restore. Pushing the power button for more than 4
seconds will power off the system.
Instant-Off
Pressing and then releasing the power button at
once will immediately power off your system.
Resume on PCI Event
This field should be set to Enabled only if your PCI card such as
LAN card or modem card uses the PCI PME (Power Management
Event) signal to remotely wake up the PC. Refer to the card’s
documentation for more information.
Resume On Ring
Set this field to Enabled to use the modem ring-on function. This will
allow your system to power-on to respond to calls coming through
an internal or external modem. Refer to “Wake-On-Ring Connector”
in chapter 2 for more information.
Resume On LAN
With a LAN card installed, the Wake-On-LAN function allows the
network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC.
However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can wake up
the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt. Make sure your
LAN card suppor ts the remote wake up function. To use this
function, set this field to Enabled. Refer to “Wake-On-LAN
Connector” in chapter 2 for more information.
