SBC-GX1 Technical Manual Award BIOS setup
Field Explanation
If you choose to configure your own power management
settings, you are prompted to specify the following:
Doze Mode – Medium power saving mode, display is
blanked.
Standby Mode – Low power mode CPU is placed in suspend
state and display controller is turned off. Pressing the resume
button will cause the CPU to exit this condition.
HDD Power Down – defines the continuous hard disk drive
idle time before the hard disk enters power-saving mode
(motor off). The options available are ‘Disabled’ (the hard disk
drive will not go into power-saving mode), or to enter power-
saving mode after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 30,
40, or 60 minutes.
When the hard disk drive is in power-saving mode, any
access to the hard disk wakes it up.
MODEM Use IRQ
This function allows an IRQ to be assigned to an external

Throttle Duty Cycle
When Power Management is enabled the BIOS can be used
to run the processor at a slower speed. This is achieved by
using a mechanism called Throttling. When Throttling is
enabled the processor will be STOPPED for the selected
period of time each cycle.
RING POWER ON
