Rapid Resume - IBM Aptiva Hardware Handbook

DMA Resources. This option lists the channel
assignments for direct memory access (DMA). DMA
allows I/O devices to transfer data to and from memory.
You allocate DMA channels to ISA legacy adapter cards
by choosing the Not Available setting for a particular
channel.
Be sure to read the documentation that came with the
adapter card. You may need to make changes to the card
that match the selections you make for DMA Resources.
For example, you may have to move jumpers or
switches on the adapter card, or make changes to the
software that came with the adapter card.
Interrupt Resources. This option lists the system
interrupt requests (IRQs) and their functions. You
allocate IRQs to an ISA legacy adapter card by choosing
the Not Available setting for a particular IRQ.
Be sure to read the documentation that came with the
adapter card. You may need to make changes to the card
that match the selections you make for Interrupt
Resources. For example, you may have to move
jumpers or switches on the adapter card, or make
changes to the software that came with the adapter
card.

Rapid Resume

Rapid Resume is an exclusive IBM energy-saving feature
with many useful options. Rapid Resume can:
•
Save the current state of your computer when you
turn it off. Any applications or programs open when
the computer is turned off will be open when the
computer is turned back on.
•
Automatically turn off your computer when you
have not used the mouse, keyboard, or hard disk for
an amount of time you select. If you have an energy-
saving monitor, it will also turn off.
•
Put your computer in a Standby mode to conserve
energy when you have not used the mouse,
keyboard, or hard disk for an amount of time you
select.
•
Reduce the time your computer takes to start up.
•
Automatically turn on your computer when the
phone rings so that your computer can receive a fax.
•
Automatically turn on your computer at a date and
time you specify.
The following paragraphs describe each of these
options.
APM BIOS Mode. The Basic Input/Output System
(BIOS) is the machine language that runs your
computer. The APM BIOS Mode option shows you the
advanced power mode (APM) that your operating
system's APM driver should use when it communicates
with BIOS.
Rapid Resume. This option lets you turn Rapid
Resume on (enabled) or off (disabled).
Automatic Power Off. If Rapid Resume is enabled,
this option lets you set the amount of time that will pass
before your computer turns off automatically. For
example: 30 minutes means that if the mouse,
keyboard, or hard disk are not used for 30 minutes, the
computer turns off automatically.
Only energy-saving monitors will turn off
note:
automatically with Rapid Resume.
