Standby Mode
This is user configurable only when the Power Management category
is set to User Defined. When enabled and after the set time of system
inactivity, the CPU clock will run at a speed slower than the speed
during Doze mode (1/3 of full speed) while all other devices still op-
erate at full speed.
Suspend Mode
This is user configurable only when the Power Management category
is set to User Defined. When enabled and after the set time of system
inactivity, the CPU and onboard peripherals will be shut off.
HDD Power Down
This is user configurable only when the Power Management category
is set to User Defined. When enabled and after the set time of system
inactivity, the hard disk drive will be powered down while all other
devices remain active.
Throttle Duty Cycle
The duty cycle indicates the percent of time the STOPCLK# signal is
asserted. This field is used to select the percent of time the CPU will
be inactive when the system enters the Doze, Standby or Suspend
mode. The higher the percent selected, the greater the percentage of
time the CPU is inactive, therefore, the more it saves power.
Options 12.5%, 25.0%, 37.5%, 50.0%, 75.0%, and 87.5%
Default 62.5%
Note:
If the percent selected in this field is too high, your system may
not be able to enter the Doze, Standby or Suspend mode. If this
occurs, select a lower percent to allow the system to enter the
power saving mode.
VGA Active Monitor
Enabled VGA activities will cause the system to wake up from
power saving mode.
Disabled VGA activities will not cause the system to wake up from
power saving mode.
