Power Management
This field acts as the master control for the power management modes. Max. Saving puts
the system into power saving mode after a brief period of system inactivity. Min. Saving is
almost the same as Max. Saving except that this time the system inactivity period takes
longer. Disable disables the power saving features while User Define allows you to set
power saving options according to your preference.
IMPORTANT:
Advanced Power Management (APM) should be installed to keep the sys-
tem time updated when the computer enters suspend mode activated by the BIOS Power
Management. For DOS environments, you need to add the statement, DEVICE=C:
\DOS\POWER.EXE, in you CONFIG.SYS. For Windows 3.x and Windows 95, you need to
install Windows with the APM feature. A battery and power cord icon labeled “Power” will
appear in the “Control Panel”. Choose “Advanced” in the Power Management Field.
PM Control by APM
Power Management is completely controlled by the APM. APM stands for Advanced Power
Management, it is a power management standard set by Microsoft, Intel and other major
manufacturers.
