System Setup Program A-5
Power Management With the Power Management category
enabled, DPMS monitors and most EIDE
drives automatically switch into low-power
mode during periods of system inactivity.
NOTE: Not all EIDE hard-disk drives support
this feature. Enabling this feature for drives
that do not support it may cause the EIDE
drive to become inoperable until the system is
restarted and the Power Management cate-
gory is disabled.
Wakeup On LAN Determines whether the Wakeup On LAN fea-
ture is set.
Sound Determines whether the integrated audio con-
troller is set to On (default) or Off. When
Sound is set to Off, no sounds are emitted
from any attached external speakers or from
the on-board speaker, except for beep codes.
Set Sound to Off if you want to use a sound
expansion card instead of the integrated audio
controller or if you need the resources used by
the controller.
NIC Determines the on-board NIC setting. The set-
ting choices are On, On (PXE Off), or Off. The
default setting is On (PXE Off), which means
that the NIC is enabled but not set to boot the
system remotely from a network server.
Mouse Enables or disables the built-in PS/2-
compatible mouse port. Disabling the mouse
allows an expansion card to use IRQ 12.
Serial Port 1
Serial Port 2
Configures the system’s built-in serial ports.
These categories may be set to Auto (default)
to automatically configure a port, to a specific
designation (COM1 or COM3 for Serial Port 1;
COM2 or COM4 for Serial Port 2), or to Off.
Parallel Port Configures the system’s built-in parallel port.
The port’s I/O address may be set to 278H,
3BCH, or 378H.
Otherwise, the port may be
disabled.
