[. . . ] [Suspend] W hen you press the power button, the computer enters the suspend/sleep mode, but if the button is pressed for more than four seconds, the computer is turned off. Restore On AC Power Loss This item specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt occurs. Settings are: [Off] Always leaves the computer in the power off state. [Last State] Restores the system to the status before power failure or interrupt occurred. Wakeup Event Setup Press <Enter> and the following sub-menu appears. Resume From S3 By USB Device The item allows the activity of the USB device to wake up the system from S3 (Suspend to RAM) sleep state. Resume From S3 By PS/2 Keyboard This setting determines whether the system will be awakened from what power saving modes when input signal of the PS/2 keyboard is detected. 3-15 M S-7338 M ainboard Resume From S3 By PS/2 M ouse This setting determines whether the system will be awakened from what power saving modes when input signal of the PS/2 mouse is detected. Resume by PCI Device (PME#) W hen set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the power saving modes through any event on PME (Power Management Event). Resume by PCI-E Device W hen set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the power saving modes through any event on PCIE device. Resume by RTC Alarm The field is used to enable or disable the feature of booting up the system on a scheduled time/date. 3-16 BIOS Setup PNP/PCI Configurations This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play) feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings. Primary Graphic's Adapter This setting specifies which graphics card is your primary graphics adapter. CPU D. O. T3 step1/2/3 setting Due to D. O . T can detec t the CPU loading and increase the f requency with 3 overclocking steps. PCIE D. O. T3 step1/2/3 setting Due to D. O. T can detec t the PCIE loading and increas e the frequenc y with 3 overclocking steps. These items allow users to select the speed up range of each step. Important Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make sure that your CPU can afford to overclocking regularly first. If you find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's better to disable the Dynamic Overclocking or to lower the level of overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking manually, you also need to disable the Dynamic OverClocking first. Intel EIST The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of the microprocessor whether the computer is running on battery or AC power. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support speedstep technology. Adjust CPU FSB Frequency This item allows you to set the CPU FSB frequency (in MHz). Adjust CPU Ratio This field appears only when the CPU supports this function. Adjusted CPU Frequency It shows the adjusted CPU frequency (FSB x Ratio). [. . . ] Both read and wri te perf ormanc e us ually increase, but can be hard to predict how much. Reads are similar to RAID-0 reads, writes can be either rather C-17 M S-7338 M ainboard expensive (requiring read-in prior to write, in order to be able to calculate the correct parity information), or similar to RAID-1 writes. The write efficiency depends heavily on the amount of memory in the machine, and the usage pattern of the array. Even though 128KB is the recommended setting for most users, you should choose the strip size value which is best suited to your specific RAID usage model. [. . . ]
