Some optional adapters might not wake up properly from standby
mode S3. If your computer appears to be hung in standby, press and
hold the power switch for 5 seconds. Your computer will exit standby
mode and turn off. Press the power switch to turn the computer back
on.
If you encounter a problem with Standby Mode S3, set this option to S1
and find out if updated device drivers that support Standby Mode S3
are available for your optional adapters.
Setting power-management features
Important
If your computer has only USB devices connected, you might not be
able to wake the system once it has gone to a low-power state.
With power management, the computer and monitor (if the monitor
supports DPMS) can be set to go into a reduced power state if they are
inactive for a specified length of time.
Ÿ
Time to Low Power: When you enable Automatic Hardware Power
Management , you can use this option to specify the amount of time
that the computer must be inactive before power-management features
are activated.
Ÿ
System Power: You can select On if you want the computer to remain
on, or Off if you want the computer to shut down.
Ÿ
Display: You can use this option to select one of the following
reduced-power states:
– Standby: In this mode, the screen is blanked, but the screen image
is restored immediately when any activity is detected.
– Suspend: In this mode, the monitor uses less power than in
Standby mode. The screen is blanked, but the screen image is
restored within a few seconds after any activity is detected.
– Off: In this mode, the monitor power is turned off. To restore
power to the monitor, you must press the monitor power switch.
On some monitors, you might have to press the power switch
twice.
If Off is selected, you must specify the Time to Display 'Off'. You
can select 5 minutes to 1 hour.
Note: Time to display off is the amount of time from when the
reduced-power state begins until the display turns off.
