Pnp/Pci Configuration Setup - DFI 586STE User Manual

This is used to define the continuous HDD idle time that
HDD Off
elapses before the HDD enters the power saving mode (motor
After
off). When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity,
the hard disk drive will be powered down while all other de-
vices remain active.
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the
Doze
CPU clock will run at a slower speed (1/2 of full speed) while
Mode
all other devices still operate at full speed.
Standby When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the
Mode CPU clock will run at a speed slower than the speed during
Doze mode (1/3 of full speed) while all other devices still oper-
ate at full speed.
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the
Suspend
CPU and onboard peripherals will shut off.
Mode
PM Events and IRQ3-IRQ15
These are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from
entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a
mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a
device which is configured as enabled, even when the system is in a
power saving mode.
When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system,
it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system
is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the
service. When set to Enable, the activity will neither prevent the system
from going into a power saving mode nor awaken it.

PNP/PCI Configuration Setup

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. It covers some
very technical items, and it is strongly recommended that only experi-
enced users make any changes to the default settings.
