BIOS Setup Information
ROBO-638 User’s Manual
4-12
This option specifies the power management state that the HDD enters after the
specified period of hard drive inactivity has expired. It is the same as video power
control. If user chooses “Stand By” or “Suspend”, it will depend on period of
parameter “Stand By Time out”or “Suspend Time out”.
Stand by Time out (Minute)
This option specifies the length of the period of system inactivity while the
computer is in Full-On power state before the computer is placed in Standby mode.
When this length of time expires, the computer enters Standby Timeout state. In
Standby mode, some power use is curtailed.
Suspend Time out (Minute)
This option is the same as
Stand by Time out
function. These two features will be
enabled to monitor power of sub-items “Display Activity”, “Serial port”, “Parallel
Port”, “Floppy”, “Pri-HDD”, and “Sec-HDD” independently. It is also used to
control CPU throttle running function. All of sub-items will be ineffective in
selection of disabling “Stand by Time out” or “Suspend Time out” even if it can be
choosed by user in BIOS setup menu.
Throttle Slow Clock Ratio
This option specifies the speed at which the system clock runs in power saving
modes. The settings are expressed as duty cycle of the STPCLK# signal. This duty
cycle indicates the percentage of time the STPCLK# signal is asserted while in the
throttle mode.
Display Activity
This option specifies if BIOS is to monitor activity on the display monitor for
power conservation purposes. If set to
Monitor
and the computer is in a power
saving state, BIOS watches for video display activity. The computer enters the
full on power state if any activity occurs. BIOS reloads the Standby and Suspend
timeout timers if activity occurs on the specified IRQ lines. If set to
Ignore
, video
display monitor activity is not monitored.
