system will not have SMI signal until the master
is finished while the master is working.
Primary INTR

any IRQ #.
IRQ#
When set at ÒPrimaryÓ the processor will power
down only after the BIOS detects a Òno IRQ
activityÓ during the time specified by the
Suspend time. If set at ÒSecondary eventÓ the
system will distinguish whether an interrupt
accesses and I/O address or not. If it does, the
system enters the standby mode. If not, the
system enters the dreaming mode; that is the
system goes back full-on status but leaves the
monitor blank. For instance, if the system
connects to a LAN and receives an interrupt
from its file server, the system will enter the
dreaming mode to execute the corresponding
calling routine.
