AWARD BIOS SETUP
~ 39 ~
The following is a list of IRQ’s Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted much as the
COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of
the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating
system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
When set “Enabled”, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power
management mode nor awaken it.
