B. Power Management
Power management allows the computer to save electricity when it is not in use
by entering increasingly deep power saving modes as shown by the diagram below.
The computer runs in Normal operation mode until the Doze timer expires, at which
point the computer enters Doze mode. If no external activity occurs, the computer
will go into Standby and Suspend modes when their respective timers expire. If
external activity occurs, the computer will wake up from Power Management and
return to Normal mode. To activate the function, set Power Management to
Maximum Saving, User Define, or Minimum Saving described below. For a
description of the power saving modes (Doze, Standby, and Suspend) see their
descriptions below.
Disabled - Turns off the Power Management functions.
Max. Saving - All timers are set at the minimum value of one minute to
maximize power saving.
Min. Saving - All timers are set at the maximum value of one hour for
minimal power saving.
User Define - User can configure the timer to a desired time according to the
values available.
Note that enabling the Power Management function will result in enabling the
HDD Power Down function (Max Saving = 15 min, Min Saving = 1 min). The
HDD Power Down function is not part of the Power Management scheme as
indicated in Figure 3-6 Refer to the Standby Mode, Suspend Mode, and HDD
Power Down descriptions below for more informaiton on hard drive power
management.
C. PM Control by APM
This function allows software other than BIOS to control Power Management
features Enable this function in BIOS and make sure APM (Advanced Power
Management) is present. For example, run the Power utility program located in
the DOS directory, C:\DOS\POWER.EXE to use Power Management features under
DOS. For Windows 3.1x and Windows 95, you need to install Windows with
the APM feature.
