5-8 Utilizing Power Management
Video Monitoring
Specify whether Power Management monitors video activity
as it relates to going into Suspend mode. Disabling video
monitoring is useful for applications that have something
happening on the screen constantly. For example, a chang-
ing clock on the screen can keep the system from initiating
power saving features even though the system is not in use.
Enable and disable video monitoring by highlighting the
option and pressing
Enter
. A check mark appears when the
option is enabled. The default setting is disabled.
Device
The options under Device Setup specify how long a device
is inactive before power-saving is activated.
Video
Specify how long the monitor waits for system inactivity
before putting the LCD or CRT into Video Standby mode.
The screen goes blank in Video Standby. This mode is
most effective in LCD mode, because it turns off the panel
backlight.
