Power Management Setup Option 

This option lets you control system power management. The 
system has various power-saving modes including powering 
down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, 
and software power down that allows the system to be auto-
matically resumed by certain events. 

Power Management Timeouts 

The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the 
system is inactive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If 
the inactivity continues so that the timeout period elapses, the 
system enters a power-saving mode. If any item in the list of 
Reload Global Timer  Events is Enabled, then any activity on 
that item will reset the timeout counters to zero. 

Wake Up Calls 

If the system is suspended, or has been powered down by 
software, it can be resumed by a wake up call that is gener-
ated by incoming traffic to a modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, 
or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock,
