cur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
−
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
−
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
−
Connect the equipment onto an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
−
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Page 43: Power Management Setup Option
Parallel Port Mode (ECP) Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. There are four options: SPP (Standard Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) and ECP+EPP. SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) are bi-directional modes, allowing both data input and output. - Page 44 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.
- Page 45 Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default, S1(POS), the suspend mode is equivalent to a software power down. If you select S3 (STR), the suspend mode is a suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh current to the system memory.
