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
