PM Control by APM:
The default setting is “Yes”. When set to
“Yes”, system BIOS will wait for APM’s prompt before it enters any
PM mode. If your system power management is controlled by APM
and there is a task running, the APM will not prompt the BIOS to
enter any power saving mode after time out. Note: If APM is not
installed, this option has no effect.
APM (Advanced Power Management) should be installed to keep
the system’s time updated when the computer enters suspend mode
activated by the BIOS Power Management. For DOS environments,
you need to add
DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE
in your
CONFIG.SYS. For Windows 3.1x and Windows 95, you need to
install Windows with the APM feature. Double-click a battery and
power cord icon labeled “Power” in the “Control Panel” and choose
“Advanced” in the Power Management field.
Video Off Method:
This setting controls the video off method in
power saving mode. The default setting is “V/H SYNC+Blank”
which will disable V/H SYNC signals and blanks the screen. Other
options are “DPMS” and “Blank Screen”. The “DPMS” option
allows the BIOS to control the video card if it has the DPMS
(Display Power Management System) feature. The “Blank Screen”
option is used when you do not have a “Green” monitor.
MODEM Use IRQ:
This determines the IRQ in which the MODEM
can use. The choices: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, NA.
Doze Mode:
Options are from “1 Min” to “1 Hour” and “Disabled”.
The system speed will change from turbo to slow if no Power Man-
agement events occur for a specified length of time. Full power func-
tion will return when a Power Management event is detected. When
system entering DOZE Mode the STB LED will start blinking once a
second, indicates your system at DOZE Mode.
