Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 67

Standby Mode

After the selected period of system inactivity, the CPU clock stops,

the hard drive enters an idle state, and the L2 cache enters a power-

save mode. All other devices still operate at full speed.

Suspend Mode

After the selected period of system inactivity, the chipset enters a

hardware suspend mode, stopping the CPU clock and possibly

causing other system devices to enter power management modes.

HDD Power Down

After the selected period of drive inactivity, any system IDE

devices compatible with the ATA-2 specification or later power

manage themselves, putting themselves into an idle state after the

specified timeout and then waking themselves up when accessed.

Throttle Duty Cycle

When the system enters Doze mode, the CPU clock runs only part

of the time. You may select the percent of time that the clock runs.

VGA Active Monitor

When Enabled, any video activity restarts the global timer for

Standby mode.

IRQ8 Break [Event From] Suspend

You can select Enabled or Disabled for monitoring of IRQ8 (the

Real Time Clock) so it does not awaken the system from Suspend

mode.
