2.4.1 Power Management Mode
This parameter allows you to reduce power consumption. When this
parameter is set to
Enabled , you can configure the monitor, IDE hard
disk, and system timers. Setting to Disabled deactivates the power
management feature and all the timers.
Monitor Power Saving Timer
This parameter sets the VESA DPMS-compatible display monitor to
standby mode. Any keyboard or mouse action returns the monitor to
normal operation.
IDE Hard Disk Standby Timer
This parameter allows the hard disk to enter standby mode after
inactivity of 1 to 15 minutes, depending on your setting. When you
access the hard disk again, allow 3 to 5 seconds (depending on the
hard disk) for the disk to return to normal speed. Set this parameter to
Off if your hard disk does not support this function.
System Standby Timer
This parameter sets the system to a "fast-on" power saving mode. It
automatically enters the standby mode after a specified period of
inactivity. Any keyboard or mouse action, or any enabled monitored
activities occurring through IRQ or DRQ channels, resume system
operation. See section 2.4.2.
System Suspend Timer
This parameter supports the lowest power saving mode. To resume
system operation from suspend mode, you can either press a key,
move the mouse or press the reset button. If you run network, set this
item to
OFF .
