2-24 Setup and Operation
Unattended Start
This field controls the point at which the user password is required. The Unattended Start
field can only be set if a user password is in effect.
When this field is set to Disabled (the default setting), the user is prompted for the
password before the system can boot. The text string prompt “Enter Password (1)” is
displayed.
When this field is set to Enabled and a user password is set, the system boots and runs, but
the keyboard is locked. The user password must be entered to unlock it. The BIOS does not
display any prompt string.
Power Menu
Power management reduces the amount of energy used after specified periods of inactivity.
The Power menu provides the choice of operating the system in a full-on state or a full-
power reduction state when idle.
Power Management
This field allows you to enable or disable the power management options.
Selecting “Enabled” also allows you to further configure the Power Management
options.
Inactivity Timer
This field sets the length of time before the computer powers down various
system devices. Choices for inactivity time periods include Off, 5, 10, 20 (the
default), and 30 minutes, or 1 or 2 hours.
Hard Drive
When this field is enabled, the hard disk drive is powered down during periods of
inactivity. Choices include “Enabled”(default) and “Disabled.”
VESA Video Power Down
This field enables you to disable or enable the video power down setting. The
default is “Enabled.”
Boot Menu
The Boot menu allows you to configure the system’s boot process.
Restore On AC/Power Loss
This field enables you to decide whether the system automatically boots up or
stays off after power is restored to the system (after an unexpected power loss).
The default setting is “Last State.” When set to “Power On,” the system
automatically boots up after power restoration. Choose “Stay Off” if you want the
system to stay off. Note that when the system is set to Stay Off, On LAN does not
function even if On LAN is enabled (see below).
