components of the computer such as the system power supply, processor,
hard disk drives, and some monitors.

Being an ACPI BIOS system, the operating system is allowed to control
the power management features of the computer and the setting for
Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS mode is ignored. Not all
operating systems support ACPI BIOS mode.
Automatic Power-On features
The Automatic Power-On features within the Power Management menu
allow you to enable and disable features that turn on the computer
automatically.
Wake Up on LAN: • This feature allows PCI or PCI-E LAN that support this
capability to wake the system.
Wake Up Alarm: • You can specify a date and time at which the computer
will be turned on automatically. This can be either a single event or a
daily event.
