MODEM Use IRQ:
Name the interrupt request (IRQ) line assigned to the modem (if any) on
your system. Activity of the selected IRQ always awakens the system.
The choices: NA, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11
PM Timer:
The following four modes are Green PC power saving functions which are only user
configurable when
User Defined
Power Management has been selected see above for
available selections.
Doze Mode:
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the CPU clock will run
at slower speed while all other devices still operate at full speed.
Standby Mode:
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the fixed disk drive
and the video would be shut off while all other devices still operate at full speed.
Suspend Mode:
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except
the CPU will be shut off.
HDD Power Down:
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the hard disk
drive will be powered down while all other devices remain active.
Throttle Duty Cycle:
When the system enters Doze mode, the CPU clock runs only part of
the time. You may select the percent of time that the clock runs.
The Choice: 12.5%, 25.0%, 37.5%, 50.0%, 62.5%, 75.0%
ZZ Active in Suspend:
When Enabled, the ZZ signal is active during Suspend mode.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
VGA Active Monitor:
When Enabled, any video activity restarts the global timer for Standby
mode.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN:
When Enabled, turning the system off with the on/off button places
the system in a very low-power-usage state, with only enough circuitry receiving power to
detect power button activity or Resume by Ring activity.
The Choice: Instant-Off, Delay 4 Sec.
Resume by Ring:
An input signal on the serial Ring Indicator (RI) line (in other words, an
incoming call on the modem) awakens the system from a soft off state..
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
IRQ 8 Break Suspend:
You can Enable or Disable monitoring of IRQ8 so it does not awaken
the system from Suspend mode.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Reload Global Timer Events:
When Enabled, an event occurring on each device listed below restarts the global time for
Standby mode.

3-5 PnP/PCI CONFIGURATION SETUP
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or
P
ersonal
C
omputer
I
nterconnect, is
a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when
communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.
