IRQ XX Reserved [No/ICU]

These fields indicate whether or not the displayed IRQ for each field is being used
by a legacy (non-PnP) ISA card. The setting [No/ICU] for an IRQ field indicates that
you are using the ISA Configuration Utility (ICU), and that this particular IRQ is
NOT required by a legacy ISA card. Set the IRQ field to [Yes] if you install a legacy
ISA card that requires a unique IRQ and you are NOT using ICU.
Configuration options: [No/ICU] [Yes]

Power Management [User Defined]

This field allows you to activate or deactivate the automatic power saving features
of this motherboard. When set to [Disabled], power management does not function
regardless of the other settings on this menu. The [User Defined] option allows you
to set the period of inactivity before the system enters suspend mode. Refer to the
“Suspend Mode” item for details.

When set to [Max Saving], system power is conserved to its greatest amount. This
setting automatically puts the system into suspend mode after a brief period of
inactivity. [Min Saving] allows the system to enter suspend mode after a long
period of inactivity. Configuration options: [User Defined] [Disabled] [Min Saving]
[Max Saving]

Video Off Option [Suspend -> Off ]

This field determines when to activate the video off feature for monitor power
management. Configuration options: [Suspend -> Off] [Always On]

Video Off Method [DPMS OFF]

This field defines the video off features. The Display Power Management System
(DPMS) allows the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports DPMS. Set
this option to [Blank Screen] when using monitors that do not support power
management or “green” features.
