“ DPMS ”.

Doze Mode : Options are from “ 1 Minute ” to “  1 Hour ” and “ Disable ”. The system
speed will change from turbo to slow if no Power Management events occur for a
specified length of time. Full power function will return when a Wake-Up event is
detected.

Standby Mode : Options are from “ 1 Minute ”  to “ 1 Hour ” and “ Disable ”.  The system

events occur for a specified length of time.  Full power function will return when a
Wake-Up event is detected.

HDD Power Down : Options are from “ 1 Minute ” to “ 15 Minutes ” and “ Disable ”.  The
IDE hard drive will spin down if it is not accessed within a specified length of time.

Wake-Up Events : When a hardware event is enabled, the occurrence of a
corresponding event will return the system to full speed.

Power Down/Resume Events : When a hardware event is enabled, the occurrence of a
