Power Management
If you select Power Management from the Configuration/Setup
Utility main menu, you can view and, in some cases, change settings
that affect the energy-saving features of your server. With Power
Management, your server and monitor (if you have a monitor
attached and your monitor supports Display Power Management
Signaling (DPMS)) can be set to go into a reduced-power state if
they are inactive for a specified length of time.
Attention: If a device, such as a monitor, does not have
power-management capabilities, it can be damaged when exposed to
a reduced-power state. Before you make energy-saving selections
for your monitor, check the documentation that comes with your
monitor to see if it supports Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS).

used independent of APM BIOS features controlled by your
operating system.
APM BIOS Mode: Enable this function if your operating
system supports APM enabled machines.
Automatic Hardware Power Management: Enable this function
and the related settings to reduce power consumption during
periods of hardware inactivity.

activities that you want monitored for automatic power
management.
