Power Down & Resume Events (IRQ 3 - 15)
Power Down and Resume events are I/O events whose occurrence can pre-
vent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the sys-
tem from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which
occurs to a device which is configured as On, even when the system is in a
power down mode.
The following is a list of IRQ's, Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted
much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device
wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing
an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the re-
quest, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
When set on, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power
management mode nor awaken it.
The default value is On.
O n The activity of this event causes the power management tim-
ers to be reset, i.e., the Power Management Unit (PMU)
monitors the specified activities as power management
events.
Off The activity of this event will not affect the power manage-
ment timers.

PNP/PCI Configuration Setup

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its
own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it
is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any
changes to the default settings.
