PM Timers
The following four modes are Green PC power saving functions which are only user
configurable when User Defined Power Management has been selected. See
above for available selections.
HDD Power Down
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the hard disk drive will be
powered down while all other devices remain active.
Doze Mode
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the CPU clock will run at
slower speed while all other devices still operate at full speed.
Suspend Mode
When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU
will be shut off.
The Choice: Instant-Off, Delay 4 Sec.
PM Events
PM events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering
a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the
system remains alert for anything which occurs to a device which is configured as
On, even when the system is in a power down mode.
