Setup Utility 2-13
Power Menu
The Power Menu is used to enable or disable the system’s power management
features. When the power management option is enabled, the following options
appear in the Power Menu:
Power Management
This feature lets you enable or disable BIOS power management.
Inactivity Timer
The Inactivity Timer lets you set the length of time that the system needs
to be inactive before entering its low-power or Standby mode. The low-
power mode powers down various devices in the system until you resume
using it. You can select from “Off,” or intervals of 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60,
and 120 minutes. A setting of 1 minute achieves maximum power
savings, while a setting of 120 minutes allows maximum time before the
system enters its low-power mode.
Hard Drive
This option controls whether or not a spin down command is issued to the
hard drives when the system goes into a low-power mode. Your choices
are “Enabled” or “Disabled.”
VESA Video Power Down
This option controls power to the monitor during the low-power modes.
Your choices are “Disabled,” “Standby,” “Suspend,” or “Sleep.”
Press the right arrow (cursor) key to move to the Boot Menu.
Boot Menu
The Boot Menu can be used to adjust the system’s boot features. The Boot
Menu features the following options:
Quick Boot Mode
This option configures the system to boot without running certain POST
tests. The choices are “Enabled” and “Disabled.”
Scan User Flash Area
This option configures the BIOS to scan the flash memory for user binary
files that are executed at boot time. The choices are “Enabled” and
“Disabled.”
After Power Failure
This option specifies whether or not to restore power to the system if it is
turned on and there is a power failure. The options are “Stay Off” which
keeps the power off, “Power On” which restores the system’s power, and
“Last State” which restores the previous power state.
