Power Management
The power management features provided aim to reduce the
amount of electricity consumed by your computer if it should be
left idle. If your system has Apricot power management software the
BIOS settings should all be set to disabled as standard. That will
allow use of the software to pre-program power restore events and
operations. (incoming messages, alarm calls etc.)
