PM Timers
The following are Green PC power saving functions. They
are user-configurable only during User Defined Power
Management mode.
Doze Mode: After the selected period of inactivity, 1 minute
to 1 hour, the processor clock runs at slower speed while all
other devices continue to operate at full speed.
Standby Mode: After the selected period of inactivity, 1
minute to 1 hour, the fixed disk and video shut off while all
other devices continue to operate at full speed.
Suspend Mode: After the selected period of system inactivity,
1 minute to 1 hour, all devices except the processor shut off.
HDD Power Down: After the selected period of drive
inactivity, 1 to 15 minutes, the hard disk drive powers down
while all other devices remain active.
Wake Up Events
You can turn on or off monitoring of four commonly used
interrupt requests so they do not awaken the system from, or
reset activity timers for Doze and Standby modes.
For example, if you have a modem on IRQ3, you can turn on
IRQ3 as a wake-up event, so that an interrupt from the
modem can wake up the system.
Or you may want to turn off IRQ12, the PS/2 mouse, as a
wake-up event, so accidently brushing the mouse does not
awaken the system. The default wake-up event is keyboard
activity.
