Power Management Function (ACPI support function)

Device Standby Mode

Independent power management timer for hard disk drive devices (0-15 minutes, time step=1 minute). Hard disk drive goes into Standby mode (for ATA standard interface). Disable V-sync to control the VESA DPMS monitor. Resume method: device activated (Keyboard for DOS, keyboard & mouse for Windows). Resume recovery time: 3-5 sec.

Global Standby Mode

Global power management timer (2-120 minutes, time step=10 minute). Hard disk drive goes into Standby mode (for ATA standard interface). Disable H-sync and V-sync signals to control the VESA DPMS monitor. Resume method: Return to original state by pushing external switch button, modem ring in, keyboard and mouse for APM mode. Resume recovery time: 7-10 sec.

Suspend Mode

Independent power management timer (2-120 minutes, time step=10 minutes) or pushing external switch button. CPU goes into SMM. CPU asserts STPCLK# and goes into the Stop Grant State. LED on the panel turns amber colour. Hard disk drive goes into SLEEP mode (for ATA standard interface). Disable H-sync and V-sync signals to control the VESA DPMS monitor. Ultra I/O and VGA chip go into power saving mode. Resume method: Return to original state by pushing external switch button, modem ring in, keyboard and mouse for APM mode. Return to original state by pushing external switch button, modem ring in and USB keyboard for ACPI mode.
ACPI specification 1.0. S0, S1, S3 and S5 sleep state support. On board device power management support. On board device configuration support.
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run Setup when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup message.
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM. NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad/flat. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS. Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots immediately after you exit Setup.

Entering Setup

Power on the computer and press <Del> key immediately to allow you to enter Setup or if the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter setup. Restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON, you may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.
The command line at the bottom of the menu tells you how to move within a screen and from one screen to another.
To select an option, move the highlight bar by pressing To change a parameter setting, press or

then press

until the desired setting is found. again to
Press to return to the main menu. If you are already in the main menu, press exit Setup.
The parameters on the screens show default values. These values may not be the same as those in your system. The grayed items on the screens have fixed settings and are not user-configurable.
NOTE: Due to the application of a new version of BIOS Setup program, you may find the BIOS menu is largely different from the former models. However, you will soon find out that this version is much more compact than the former ones.

Main Menu

Once you enter BIOS Setup utility the Main Menu will appear on the screen, the Main Menu allows you to select from twelve setup functions and two exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept.

Standard CMOS Features

Select Standard CMOS Features from the main menu to configure some basic parameters in your system. The following screen shows the Standard CMOS Features menu:
The following table describes the parameters found in this menu. Settings in boldface are the default and suggested settings.

Integrated Peripherals

The following table describes each Integrated Peripherals parameters. Settings in boldface are the default and suggested values.
Parameter IDE HDD Block Mode
Description Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commpands or multiple sector read/write. If your IDE hard drive supports block mode ( most new drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number of block read/write per sector the drive can support. The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support two IDE channels, select Enabled to activate each channel separately Setting these items to Auto activates the HDD speed auto-detect function. The PIO mode specifies the data transfer rate of the HDD. For example, mode 0 data transfer rate is 3.3MB/s, mode 1 is 5.2 MB/s, mode 2 is 8.3MB/s, mode 3 is 11.1 MB/s and mode 4 is 16.6MB/s. If your hard disk performance becomes unstable, you may manually try the slower mode. Enabled Disabled

POST Check Points

When POST executes a task, it uses a series of preset numbers called check point to be latched at port 80h, indicating the stages it is currently running. This latch can be read and shown on a debug board. The following table describes the Acer common tasks carried out by POST. A unique check point number represents each task.
