Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN
Pressing the power button for more than 4 seconds forces the system to enter the
Soft-Off state when the system has "hung."
The Choices: Delay 4 Sec, Instant-Off (default).
PWRON After PWR-Fail
This field determines the action the system will automatically take when power is
restored to a system that had lost power previously without any subsequent manual
intervention. There are 3 sources that provide current to the CMOS area that retains
these Power-On instructions; the motherboard battery (3V), the Power Supply
(5VSB), and the Power Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplying power, the
motherboard uses the motherboard battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and the
Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from the Power Supply is used. When the
Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the Power Supply will be used.
There are 3 options: "Former-Sts", "On", "Off".
"Former-Sts" (default)
"On"
"Off"
For example: If set to "Former-Sts" and AC power is lost when system is live, then
after AC power is restored, the system will automatically power on. If AC power is
lost when system is not live, system will remain powered off.
CPU THRM-Throttling
Select the CPU THRM-Throttling rate.
The Choices: 87.5%, 75.5%, 62.5%, 50.0% (default), 37.5%, 25%,
12.5%.
Wake-Up by PCI card
When you select Enabled, a PME signal from PCI card returns the system to Full
On state.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.
Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS
when AC power is lost.
Means always set CMOS to the "On" status when
AC power is lost
Means always set CMOS to the "Off" status when
AC power is lost.
