ECS L4IBMGL6 1.0 Manual page 40

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.

ACPI Function (Enabled)
This mainboard supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power manage-
ment Interface). Use this item to enable or disable the ACPI feature.
Note: ACPI is a power management specification that makes hardware status
information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn
its peripherals on and off for improved power management. It also allows
the PC to be turned on and off by external devices, so that mouse or key-
board activity wakes up the computer.
Power Management (User Define)
This item acts like a master switch for the power-saving modes and hard disk
timeouts. If this item is set to Max Saving, power-saving modes occur after a
short timeout. If this item is set to Min Saving, power-saving modes occur after
a longer timeout. If the item is set to User Define, you can insert your own
