IR Transmission Delay This item allows you to Enabled/Disabled the IR transmission delay.
  • Page 106 Onboard Parallel Mode To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose “SPP.” To operate the onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”, the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP + EPP” will allow the onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultane- ously.

  • Page 108 ACPI Suspend Type This item will set which ACPI suspend type will be used. S1 (POS) The S1 sleeping state is low wake-up latency sleeping state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system context. S3 (STR) The S3 state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state where all system context is lost except system memory.
  • Page 109 Video Off In Suspend This determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked. The settings are Yes and No. Suspend Type Select the Suspend Type. The settings are: PWRON Suspend, Stop Grant. Modem Use IRQ This determines the IRQ in which the MODEM can use. The settings are 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11and NA.
  • Page 110 Power On by Ring During Disabled, the system will ignore any incoming call from the modem. During Enabled, the system will boot up if there’s an incoming call from the modem. Wake-Up on LAN To use this function, you need a LAN add-on card which support power on functions.
  • Page 111 Reload Global Timer events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a device which is configured as Enabled , even when the system is in a power down mode.
  • Page 112 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 communicat- ing 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.
  • Page 113 Reset Configuration Data Normally, you leave this field to Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot. The settings are Enabled and Disabled .

The differences are: Supervisor password: User password: ENTER PASSWORD: Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory.
  • Page 119 ® Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer. You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option.
