Power Button Mode [On/Off]

Allows the system to go into On/Off mode or suspend mode when the

power button is pressed. Configuration options: [On/Off] [Suspend]

Restore on AC Power Loss [Power Off]

When set to Power Off, the system goes into off state after an AC power

loss. When set to Power On, the system goes on after an AC power loss.

When set to Last State, the system goes into either off or on state,

whatever the system state was before the AC power loss.

Configuration options: [Power Off] [Power On] [Last State]

Power On By RTC Alarm [Enabled]

Allows you to enable or disable RTC to generate a wake event. When this

item is set to Enabled, the items RTC Alarm Date, RTC Alarm Hour, RTC

Alarm Minute, and RTC Alarm Second appear with set values. Configuration

options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

Power On By External Modems [Disabled]

This allows either settings of [Enabled] or [Disabled] for powering up the

computer when the external modem receives a call while the computer is in

Soft-off mode. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

The computer cannot receive or transmit data until the computer and

applications are fully running. Thus, connection cannot be made on the

first try. Turning an external modem off and then back on while the

computer is off causes an initialization string that turns the system

power on.
