Wake up by PCI Card

When the system enters a Soft-off mode (Standby power exist but system is not working), it will wake up

system when specific signals occurred. The BIOS monitors the system for “activity” to determine when to

enable power management.

If you enable this feature, the computer specifies that any signal noticed on the PCI (Peripheral Component

Interconnect) bus channel must make go out from the hibernation state. The choices: Enabled, Disabled.

Power On by Ring

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. The choices: Enabled, Disabled.

Reload Global Timer Events

Primary/Secondary IDE 0/1

The events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode

or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything, which occurs

are Enabled, and Disabled.

After you have made your selections in the Power Management setup, press the <ESC> key to go back

to the main program screen.
