4. BIOS SETUP
Throttle Slow Clock Ratio [37.5-50%] (*APM feature)
This field determines the duty cycle of the STPCLK# signal when the system is in
throttling mode. In other words, it configures the percentage by which the CPU
slows down when the system enters power-saving mode.
Modem Use IRQ [N/A] (*APM feature)
Leave on default setting.
Display Activity [Ignore] (*APM feature)
Set this field to [Monitor] if you want the system to monitor any display activity that
takes place while the system is in power-saving mode. Available options: [Ignore]
[Monitor]
IRQ3 to IRQ15 (*APM feature)
Select [Monitor] if you want the system to wake up from power-saving mode when
there is activity detected from the specified IRQ channels. Available options: [Ig-
nore] [Monitor]
System Thermal [Ignore]
The onboard hardware monitor is able to detect the CPU and motherboard tempera-
tures. Set to [Monitor] to use this feature.
Thermal Slow Clock Ratio [50-56.25%]
This field determines the duty cycle of the STPCLK# signal when the THRM# pin
is asserted low. In other words, this feature sets the percentage by which the CPU
slows down when the CPU is overheated. NOTE: To access this field, the System
Thermal field must be set to [Monitor].
Power Button Function [On/Off]
When set to [On/Off], the ATX switch can be used as a normal system power-off
button when pressed for less than 4 seconds. [Suspend] allows the button to have a
dual function where pressing less than 4 seconds will place the system in sleep
mode. Regardless of the setting, holding the ATX switch for more than 4 seconds
will power off the system. NOTE: This field is only effective in APM OS system.
Available options: [On/Off] [Suspend]
Restore on AC/Power Loss [Power Off]
This allows you to set whether you want your system to reboot after the power has
been interrupted. [Power Off] leaves your system off after reapplying power and
[Power On] boots up your system after reapplying power. [Last state] returns your
computer back to the state it is in before the power failure.
