Power Management Setup Option - ECS L4S8A Manual

Audio Access Interface (EDB BUS)
This option determines whether the audio access interface is the embedded
bus or a PCI bus.

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.
Power Management Timeouts
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.
Wake Up Calls
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.
