Blank Screen This option only writes blanks to the video buffer. DPMS Initial display power management signaling. MODEM Use IRQ This determines the IRQ, which can be applied in MODEM use. The Choices: 3 (default)/ 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 10 / 11 / NA Soft-Off by PWR-BTN Pressing the power button for more than 4 seconds forces the system to enter the Soft-Off state when the system has "hung." The Choices: Delay 4 Sec, Instant-Off (default). Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume Choosing Enabled will make BIOS run VGA BIOS to initialize the VGA card when system wakes up from S3 state . The system time is shortened if you disable the function , but system will need AGP driver to initialize the card . So , if the AGP driver of the VGA card does not support the initialization feature , the display may work abnormally or not function after S3 . The Choices: Auto (default), Yes, No. Ac Loss Auto Restart This field determines the action the system will automatically take when power is restored to a system that had lost power previously without any subsequent manual intervention. There are 3 sources that provide current to the CMOS area that retains these Power-On instructions; the motherboard battery (3V), the Power Supply (5VSB), and the Power Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplying power, the motherboard uses the motherboard battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from the Power Supply is used. When the Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the Power Supply will be used. There are 3 options: "Former-Sts", "On", "Off". "Off" (default) Means always set CMOS to the "Off" status when AC power is lost. "On" Means always set CMOS to the "On" status when AC power is lost "Former-Sts" Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC power is lost. For example: If set to "Former-Sts" and AC power is lost when system is live, then after AC power is restored, the system will automatically power on. If AC power is lost when system is not live, system will remain powered off. Delay Prior to Thermal The Choices: 16 Min (default), 4, 8, 32. 23

Blank Screen
This option only writes blanks to the video buffer.
DPMS
Initial display power management signaling.
MODEM Use IRQ
This determines the IRQ, which can be applied in MODEM use.
The Choices: 3
(default)/ 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 10 / 11 / NA
Soft-Off by PWR-BTN
Pressing the power button for more than 4 seconds forces the system to enter the
Soft-Off state when the system has “hung.”
The Choices:
Delay 4 Sec,
Instant-Off
(default).
Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume
Choosing Enabled will make BIOS run VGA BIOS to initialize the VGA card when system
wakes up from S3 state . The system time is shortened if you disable the function , but
system will need AGP driver to initialize the card . So , if the AGP driver of the VGA card
does not support the initialization feature , the display may work abnormally or not function
after S3 .
The Choices: Auto
(default), Yes, No.
Ac Loss Auto Restart
This field determines the action the system will automatically take when power is restored
to a system that had lost power previously without any subsequent manual intervention.
There are 3 sources that provide current to the CMOS area that retains these Power-On
instructions; the motherboard battery (3V), the Power Supply (5VSB), and the Power
Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplying power, the motherboard uses the motherboard
battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from
the Power Supply is used. When the Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the
Power Supply will be used.
There are 3 options: “Former-Sts”, “On”, “Off”.
“Off”
(default)
Means always set CMOS to the “Off” status when AC power is lost.
“On”
Means always set CMOS to the “On” status when AC power is lost
“Former-Sts”
Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC power is lost.
For example: If set to “Former-Sts” and AC power is lost when system is live, then after
AC power is restored, the system will automatically power on. If AC power is lost when
system is not live, system will remain powered off.
