Resume by Alarm

enabled, the user is allowed to set the Date and Time.

Reload Global Timer Events

The HDD, FDD, COM, LPT Ports, and PCI PIRQ are I/O events which can prevent
the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a
mode. 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.
