Doze Mode

after the preset period of system idle time, while all other devices
operate at full speed.
Standby Mode
When this item is enabled, the fixed disk drive and video display will
shut off after the preset period of system idle time.

HDD Power
Down
This item defines the continuous HDD (Hard Disk Drive) idle time
before the HDD enters power saving mode (motor off). The available
settings are between 1 min to 15 min or Disabled.
Suspend Mode
Option
This item determines what the BIOS will do when the system enters
into Suspend mode. The default option is PowerOn Suspend. If this
option is selected, the system will turn off all power and the CPU will
enter into Suspend mode. You can resume the system with
predetermined actions, such as keyboard or mouse movements. If you
select the option Suspend to Disk, all the memory information and
display information will be saved to the hard disk before the system
shuts down. The next time the power is switched on, the system will
retrieve the system information from the hard disk and go back to its
original state.
Note: To use the Suspend to Disk function, you need a utility to set up
the hard disk. Also, this function will only work with certain types of
the display card.
