10 Miscellaneous
10.1 Specific BIOS Modes “Always On” & “Never Off” (D3243-S) [New]
The BIOS Setup of D3243-S provides two settings for specific operating modes
Always On (Power Failure Recovery)
The system is forced to power up under any condition whenever power is connected to the system.
e.g. when mainboard battery is dead
Default setting: “Power Failure Recovery = Always On”
Never Off
The system cannot be switched off by the mainboard power button or from Windows OS.
If any shutdown (incl. S3 / S4) or power button override is detected, the system is forced to powered up and reboot again.
This feature may be used e.g. for unattended systems that should never be shut down.
Default setting: “Never Off = disabled”
Note: If “Never Off = enabled”, then Power Failure
Recovery should be set to “Always On”!
This Never Off-feature is only supported
by mass production mainboards D3243-S!
