Standby Time Out
Suspend Time Out
These options specify the length of the period of system inactivity when the computer is already in Standby mode
before the computer is placed on Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, nearly all power use is curtailed.
Slow Clock Ratio
This option specifies the speed at which the system clock runs in power saving modes. The settings are
expressed as a ratio between the normal clock speed and the power down clock speed.
IRQ
These options enable event monitoring. When the computer is in a power saving mode, activity on the named
interrupt request line is monitored by BIOS. When any activity occurs, the computer enters Full On mode.
5.6 PCI/PLUG AND PLAY
This section is used to configure PCI / Plug and Play features. The <PCI & PNP Setup> option configures the PCI
bus slots. All PCI bus slots on the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value.

Figure 5-6 BIOS: PCI / Plug and Play Setup
Plug and Play Aware O/S
Set this option to Yes if the operating system installed in the computer is Plug and Play-aware. The BIOS only
detects and enables PnP ISA adapter cards that are required for system boot. The Windows 95 operating system
detects and enables all other PnP-aware adapter cards. Windows 95 is PnP-aware. Set this option <No> if the
operating system (such as DOS, OS/2, Windows 3.x) does not use PnP. You must set this option correctly or
PnP-aware adapter cards installed in your computer will not be configured properly.
Clear NVRAM
This sets the operating mode of the boot block area of the BIOS FLASH ROM to allow programming in the Yes
setting.
PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks)
This option sets latency of all PCI devices on the PCI bus. The settings are in units equal to PCI clocks.
