1-2 SOFTWARE POWER OFF CONTROL
The mainboard design supports Software Power Off Control feature through the SMM code in the BIOS under Windows 95/98, and MS-DOS operation system environment. ( It needs to use with the ATX power supply.)
First, you should connect the power switch cable to the connector “PS-ON” on the
mainboard. In the BIOS screen of POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP’, choose “User Defined” (or “Min. Power Saving” or “Max. Power Saving”) in ‘Power Manager’ and choose “Yes” in ‘PM Control by APM’.
In Windows 95/98, if you would like to power off the system, you just choose “shutdown the computer ?” in the “Shut Down Windows“ from Windows 95/98, then the system power will be off directly and become the stand-by status. If you would like to restart the system, just press the power switch button, and the system will be powered on.
Note : If you will leave your system for several days, we suggest you use hardware power off to shutdown your system.
5
1-3 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN mode of operation is a mechanism that uses Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power up a sleeping workstation on the network. This mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the network. For additional protection, Secure ON is an optional security feature that can be added to the Magic Packet that requires a password to power up the sleeping workstation. When the LAN card is in remote Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power can be shut down leaving power only for the LAN card and auxiliary power recondition.
The LAN card performs no network activities while in the remote Wake-On­LAN mode of operation. It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic Packet. If a Magic Packet is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card wake up the system. If the Secure ON feature has been enabled, the password added to the Magic Packet is also verified prior to waking up the system.
CAUTION :
For Wake-on-LAN, the +5V standby for the power supply must be capable of delivering +5V ±5% at 720mA. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing Wake-on-LAN can damage the power supply. ( It needs to use with the ATX power supply.)
Before you enable Wake-on-LAN function, please check your power supply specification first to meet the above requirement or not.

Memory This category is display-only which is determined by POST
(Power On Self Test) of the BIOS. Base Memory The POST will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K or 640K based on the memory installed on the motherboard. Extended Memory How much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU‘s memory address map.
Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS users this area to load device drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free for application
programs. The BIOS is the most frequent user of this RAM area since this is where it shadows RAM.

MODEM Use IRQ This item determines the IRQ in which the MODEM can be used.
The choice : 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,NA.
Soft-Off by Instant-off : When push the power button, the system power will
PWR-BTTN be off immediately. Delay 4 sec : when push the power button, it
will enter suspend mode. We need to push the power button and hold for 4 seconds to turn off the power.
The Following 4 modes are Green PC power saving functions which are only user configurable when ‘User Defined’ power management has been selected.
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.
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.
Suspend Mode When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all
devices except the CPU will be shut off.
53
VGA/LPT & COM These are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system HDD & FDD/ from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system DMA/master from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything
which occurs on a device which is configured as on, even when the system is in a password down mode. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ(Interrupt ReQuest) to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service. When set to off, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power management mode nor awaken it.
Modem Ring Enabled : when system in suspend mode, it can be wake up Resume by modem.
Disabled : it cannot be wake up by modem.
RTC Alarm When enabled, two additional lines will added to the screen : Resume Date (of Month) Alarm; Time (hh:mm:ss) Alarm to let user set
The desired date and time. After power off, the system will automatic power on at the specified date and time.

PCI IDE IRQ This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk
Map To controller in use. By default, Setup assumes that your controller is Primary IDE INT# an ISA device rather than a PCI controller. The most apparent Secondary IDE difference is the type of slot being used. If you have equipped your INT# system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to specify
which slot holds the controller and which PCI interrupt (A,B,C,D) is associated with the connected hard disk. This setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard drives, you can select the INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a lower interrupt than the secondary as described in “ lot x Using INT#”
above. Select ‘PCI Auto’ allows the system to automatically
determine how your IDE disk system is configured.
Assign IRQ for When this items is enabled, the system will assign an IRQ for USB USB. If this item is disabled, the USB will not occupy an
IRQ; therefore the IRQ of USB will be released for other usage.
Assign IRQ for When this items is enabled, the system will assign an IRQ for VGA VGA. If this item is disabled, the VGA will not occupy an
IRQ; therefore the IRQ of VGA will be released for other usage.
