PM Control by APM When enabled, an Advanced Power Management
device will be activated to enhance the Max. Power
Saving mode and stop the CPU internal clock, If Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed on your
system, selecting Yes gives better power savings. If

67EV1
Standby Mode /
Suspend Mode
These two options allow you to choose the mode for
the different timers. The Standby Mode turns off the
VGA monitor, and the Suspend Mode turns off the
CPU and saves the energy of the system.
HDD Power Down Time is adjustable from 1 to 15 minutes. When the
set time has elapsed, the BIOS sends a command to
the HDD to power down, which turns off the motor.
Modem Ring Resume 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.
RTC Alarm Resume When Enabled, you can set the data and time at the
which the RTC (Real Time Clock) alarm awakens the
system from suspend mode.
The choice: Disabled (default), Enabled.
Date (of Month) Set a certain date when RTC Alarm Resume option
is Enabled to awaken the system. THis option is concurrent with Resume TIme option.
Time (hh:mm:ss) Set a certain time when RTC Alarm Resume option is
Enabled to awaken the system. THis option is concurrent with Date option.
Primary INTR When set to On, any event occurring at will awaken a
system which has been powered down.
On (default): The system can not enter the power
saving mode when I/O ports or IRQ#
is activated.
Off: The system can enter the power saving mode
when I/O ports or IRQ# is activated.

67EV1
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.
2. Use one of the arrow keys to move between options and modify the se-
lected options by using PgUp / PgDn / + / - keys. An explanation of the
