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.

PM Events

PM events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a device which is configured as On, even when the system is in a power down mode.

VGA When Enabled, your can set the LAN awakens the

from one of the list system peripheral devices wakes up the system.

awakens the system from a soft off state.

RTC Alarm When Enabled, your can set the date and time at Function which the RTC (real-time clock) alarm awakens the

system from Suspend mode.

Primary INTR When set to On, any event occurring at will awaken a

system which has been powered down.

The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service. When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power management mode nor awaken it. IRQ3 (COM 2 ) IRQ4 (COM 1) IRQ5 (LPT 2) IRQ6 (Floppy Disk) IRQ7 (LPT 1) IRQ8 (RTC Alarm) IRQ9 (IRQ2 Redir) IRQ10 (Reserved) IRQ11 (Reserved) IRQ12 ( PS / 2 Mouse ) IRQ13 (Coprocessor) IRQ14 (Hard Disk) IRQ15 (Reserved).

These two options allow you to set your system passwords. Normally, the supervisor has a higher ability to change the CMOS setup option than the user. The way to set up the passwords for both Supervisor and User are as follows:

1. Choose “Change Password” in the Main Menu and press <Enter>.

The following message appears:

“Enter Password:”

2. The first time you run this option, enter your password up to 8

characters and press <Enter>. The screen does not display the entered characters.

5. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the password.

6. If you need to delete the password you entered before, choose the Supervisor Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password that you had before.

7. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the option you did, otherwise the old password will still be there the next time you turn your machine on.

8. Press <ESC> to exit to the Main Menu.

Note: If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access the

system is to clear the CMOS RAM by setting JBAT1. All setup information will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup program again.

IDE HDD Auto Detection

IDE HDD Auto Detection detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive and automatically enters them to the Standard CMOS Setup screen.

The screen will ask you to select a specific hard disk for Primary Master after you select this option. If you accept a hard disk detected by the BIOS, you can enter “Y” to confirm and then press <Enter> to check next hard disk. This function allows you to check four hard disks and you may press the <ESC> after the <Enter> to skip this function and go back to the Main Menu.

Save & Exit Setup

Save & Exit Setup allows you to save all modifications you have specified into the CMOS memory. Highlight this option on the Main Menu and the following message appears:

SAVE to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y

Press <Enter> key to save the configuration changes.

Exit Without Saving

Exit Without Saving allows you to exit the Setup utility without saving the modifications that you have specified. Highlight this option on the Main Menu and the following message appears:
