Power Management Setup Option - ECS P6BAT-B Manual

Power Management Setup Option

This option displays items which let you control the system power
management. Modern operating systems take care of much of the power
management. This mainboard supports ACPI (advanced configuration
and power interface). This system supports power-saving modes; doze
mode, and suspend mode.
Power Management Timeouts
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is
inactive 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 PM Events is Enabled, then any activity on
that item will restart the timeout counters or resume the system from a
power-saving mode.
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 or LAN card, or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock.
