3-6. 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
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. If
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
