Throttle Slow Clock Ratio (50%-56.25%)
This option specifies the speed at which the system clock runs in power sav-
ing states. The settings are expressed as a ratio between the normal CPU
clock speed and the CPU clock speed when the computer is in the power-
conserving state.
Display Activity (Ignore)
This option specifies if BIOS is to monitor activity on the display monitor for
power conservation purposes. If set to Monitor and the computer is in a power
saving state, BIOS watches for video display activity. The computer enters the
full on power state if any activity occurs. BIOS reloads the Standby and Sus-
pend timeout timers if activity occurs on the specified IRQ lines. If set to
Ignore, video display monitor activity is not monitored.
IRQ (Monitor/Ignore)
When set to Monitor, these options enable event monitoring on the specified
hardware interrupt request line. If set to Monitor and the computer is in a
power saving state, AMI BIOS watches for activity on the specified IRQ line.
®
The computer enters the full on power state if any activity occurs.
System Thermal (Disabled)
Set this option to Monitor for CPU thermal monitoring and speed down control.
The system will automatically supervise the CPU environmental temperature.
If the CPU surface temperature reaches the trip point set in Hardware Monitor
Setup, the thermal detection will be effective and CPU will run in throttle con-
trol manner. The overall system performance will be reduced to half. This
option is a trade-off of system performance and stability and configurable by
user. The default setting is Disabled. You can choose Monitor setting to en-
able this thermal function.
o o
Thermal Active Temperature (65 C/149 F)
Set this option to monitor CPU thermal trip point defined by user. If the System
Thermal option in CMOS setup is set to "Enabled" state and CPU surface
temperature is over this critical temperature, the system will automatically
enter speed down mode.
Thermal Slow Clock Ratio (50%-56.25%)
This option specifies the temperature at which the system clock runs in power
saving states.
Power Button Function (On/Off)
During Suspend, if you push the switch one time, the system goes into sus-
pend mode and if you push it more than 4 seconds, the system will be turned
off. During On/Off, the system will turn off once you push the switch.
Power AC resume item (Always Off)
This sets the power state after a shutdown due to an unexpected interrupt of
AC power.
