Power Management Setup Menu
The difference between Green PCs and traditional computers is that Green PCs
have a power management feature. With this feature, when the computer is powered on
but inactive, the power consumption is reduced in order to save energy. When the
computer operates normally, it is in Normal mode. In this mode, the Power Management
Program will control the access to video, parallel ports, serial ports and drives, and the
operating status of the keyboard, mouse and other device. These are referred to as
Power Management Events. In cases where none of these events occur, the system
enters the power saving mode. When one of the controlled events occurs, the system
immediately returns to normal mode and operates at its maximum speed. Power saving
modes can be divided into three modes according to their power consumption: Doze
Mode, Standby Mode , and Suspend Mode. The four modes proceed in the following
sequence:
Normal Mode===> Doze Mode===> Standby Mode===> Suspend Mode
The system consumption is reduced according the following sequence:
Normal
> Doze > Standby > Suspend
