Power Management Setup

Power Management Setup lets you control the system power. The system
has various power-saving modes — including powering down the hard
disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down
— that allows the system to automatically resume by certain events.

The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is
inactive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If inactivity continues
and reaches the defined timeout period, the system enters a power saving
mode. If any item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is enabled, then
any activity on that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.

If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can
be resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a
modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system real-time
clock.

PCI Express PME

This field is used to configure the PCI Express PME.

ACPI Suspend Type

This field is used to select the type of Suspend mode.

S1(POS)
Enables the Power On Suspend function.

S3(STR)
Enables the Suspend to RAM function.

Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume

When this field is set to Auto, the system will initialize the VGA BIOS when
it wakes up from the S3 state. This can be configured only if the “ACPI
Suspend Type” field is set to “S3(STR)”. When this feature is disabled, the
system resume time is shortened but system will need an AGP driver to
initialize the VGA card. Therefore, if the AGP driver of the card does not
support the initialization feature, the display may work abnormally or not
function after resuming from S3.

MODEM Use IRQ

This field is used to select an IRQ channel for the modem installed in your
system.
