ECS NF650iSLIT-A - Power Management Setup

Using BIOS
Power Management Setup
This option lets you control system power management. 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 be automati-
cally resumed 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 the inactivity continues so that the timeout
period elapses, 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 realtime clock.
