Power Management Setup Option - Elitegroup Computer Systems K7S5A+ Manual

IDE HDD Block Mode (Enabled)
Enable this field if your IDE hard drive supports block mode. Block mode en-
ables BIOS to automatically detect the optimal number of block read and
writes per sector that the drive can support. It also improves the speed of ac-
cess to IDE devices.

Power Management Setup Option

This option lets you control system power management. The system has vari-
ous power-saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off
the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down that allows the sys-
tem to be automatically resumed by certain events.
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inac-
tive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If the inactivity continues so that
the timeout period elapses, the system enters a power-saving mode. If any
item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on
that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.
If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can be
resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a
LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock.
