field to Turbo, the microprocessor and hard drive run at full
speed, unless affected by other power-savings settings. If you set
this field to Non-Turbo, the microprocessor and the hard drive
run at slow speed, unless there is user input or device activity.
Standby Timeout:
Sets the period of computer inactivity (no
user input or device activity) that must pass before your
computer automatically goes into standby mode. In standby
mode some devices are turned off (including the LCD screen)
and the microprocessor slows down. You can disable this option
by selecting Off, or you can specify a Standby Timeout delay time
of from 1 to 16 minutes. The default is 1 Minute.
Rest Mode:
Specifies the type of rest mode your computer
enters:
•
Power On Suspend (default): Saves power by turning off
the microprocessor and DMA clocks, video, and all
controllable peripheral devices. Some power is still used
when your system is in this mode. This rest mode is also
known as suspend to RAM.
•
Save To Disk: Provides the greatest power-saving
capabilities by essentially turning off your computer. In
the save to disk mode, all system logic (except for your
computer wakeup circuitry and battery charger) is
turned off. During save to disk mode, the DRAM and
video memory are saved to the hard drive and are
restored when your computer resumes from rest.
When the computer enters save to disk mode, it will not
resume normal operation at a specified time no matter
how the Resume On Time field is set.
Rest Timeout:
Sets the period of computer inactivity (no user
input or device activity) that must pass before your computer
enters rest mode. You can disable this option by selecting Off, or
you can specify a Standby Timeout delay time of from 5 to 60
minutes. The default setting is 5 min.
Resume On Modem Ring:
Enables the computer to resume
operation from rest mode in the event of modem
communication. The computer will resume only if the Rest Mode
field is set to Power On Suspend, not Save To Disk. The default
setting is Off.
