Power Management Setup Option
This option displays items that let you control the system power
management. Modern operating systems take care of much of
the power management. This mainboard supports ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The system has
various power saving modes including powering down the hard
disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and a software
power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed
by certain events.
Power Management Timeouts
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the
system is inactive 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,
