Page 50
Award BIOS Setup 8 Bit I/O Recovery Time: The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU clocks, which the system will delay after the completion of an input/output request. This delay takes place because the CPU is operating so much faster than the input/output bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for the completion of the I/O.

Award BIOS Setup Power Management: This category allows you to select the type (or degree) of power saving and is directly related to the following modes: 1. Doze Mode 2. Standby Mode 3. Suspend Mode 4. HDD Power Down There are four selections for Power Management, three of which have fixed mode settings.
Page 57
Award BIOS Setup Video Off After: When “Enabled”, this feature allows the VGA adapter to operate in a power saving mode. Monitor will remain on during power saving modes. Suspend Monitor blanked when the systems enters the Suspend mode. Standby Monitor blanked when the system enters Standby mode.
Page 58
Award BIOS Setup Throttle Duty Cycle: When the system enters Doze mode, the CPU clock runs only part of the time. You may select the percent of time that the clock runs. The choice: 12.5%, 25.0%, 37.5%, 50.0%, 62.5% and 75.0% VGA Active Monitor: When “Enabled”, any video activity restarts the global timer for Standby mode.
Award BIOS Setup 3.9 PnP/PCI Configurations 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.
