Description of the item on screen follows:
IPCA Function This item allows you to Enabled/Disabled the Advanced Configura-

Sleep State This option allows you to set which Sleep State will be used. S1/POS – Power on Suspend. The S1 sleeping state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state. In
this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system context.
S3/STR – Suspend to RAM. The S3 state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state where all system context is lost except the system memory. CPU,cache, and chipset context are lost in this state. Hardware maintains memory context and restores some CPU and L2 configuration context.
Sleep State LED This option determines which state the Power LED will use. The
settings are Blinking, Dual and Single. During Blinking, the power LED will blink when the system enters the suspend mode. When the mode is in Dual, the power LED will change its color. In Single mode, the power LED will always remain lit.

AMI BIOS reloads the Standby and Suspend time out timers if activity occurs on the specified IRQ line.
Power Button Function During Suspend, if you push the switch once, the system goes
into suspend mode and if you push it more than 4 seconds, the system will be turned off. During On/Off, the system will turn off once you push the switch.
Restore on AC/Power Loss The settings are power on, power off or last state. During power
on, after every AC power loss, the system will be turned on. During last status, after every AC power loss, whatever the system status, it will be the same when the AC power returns. During power off, after every AC power loss, the system will be turned off.

Wake Up On Ring/Wake Up On LAN During Disabled, the system will ignore any incoming call from the
modem/LAN. During Enabled, the system will boot up if there’s an incoming call from the modem/LAN.

Note: If you have change the setting, you must let the system boot up until it goes to the operating system. Then, power off the system. This function will work the next time you power on.

Wake Up On PME This option enables the system to comply with PCI specification
version 2.2. PCI card should be present to enable power on or resume from the PME signal.

Resume By Alarm

This function is for setting the Date, Hour, Minute, and Second for

your computer to boot up. During Disabled, you cannot use this function.

During Enabled, Choose the Date, Hour, Minute, and Second:

CHAPTER 3

AMI® BIOS USERS GUIDE

Description of the item on screen follows:
Clear ESCD During Yes, this will clear ESCD data on every boot.
PCI VGA Palette Snoop When this option is set to Enabled, multiple VGA devices operating
on different buses can handle data from the CPU on each set of palette registers on every video device. Bit 5 of the command register in the PCI device configuration space is the VGA Palette Snoop bit (0 is disabled). For example, if there are two VGA devices in the computer (one PCI and ISA) and the Bit settings are:
Disabled-Data read and written by the CPU is only directed to the PCI VGA device’s palette registers.
Enabled – Data read and written by the CPU is directed to both the PCI VGA device’s palette registers and the ISA VGA device palette registers, permitting the palette registers of both devices to be identical.
This option must be set to Enabled if an ISA adapter card requires VGA palette snooping. The settings are Enabled or Disabled.
DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7 These options specify the bus that the specified DMA channel is
used. These options allow you to reserve DMAs for legacy ISA adapter cards.
These options determine if AMI® BIOS should remove a DMA from the available DMAs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available DMA pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more DMAs must be removed from the pool, the end user can use these options to reserve the DMA by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to it.

CHAPTER 3

IRQ3/IRQ4/IRQ5/RQ7/IRQ9/IRQ10/IRQ11/IRQ14/IRQ15 These options specify the bus that the specified IRQ line is used on.
These options allow you to reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter cards. These options determine if AMI® BIOS should remove an IRQ from
the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end user can use these options to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMI® BIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as PCI/PnP. If all IRQs are set to ISA/EISA and IRQ14 and 15 are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices, because at least one IRQ must be available for PCI and PnP devices. The settings are ISA/EISA or PCI/PnP. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are IRQ3 through 7 are ISA/EISA. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings PCI/PnP.
