System BIOS and Utilities 4-21
Power Management
This feature lets you enable or disable BIOS power
management.
Inactivity Timer
The Inactivity Timer lets you set the length of time that
the system needs to be inactive before entering its low-
power or Standby mode. The low-power mode powers
down various devices in the system until you resume
using it. You can select from “1,” “5,” “10,” “20,” “30,”
“60,” or “120 minutes.” A setting of 1 minute achieves
maximum power savings, while a setting of
120 minutes allows maximum performance.
Hard Drive
This option controls whether or not a spin down
command is issued to the hard drives when the system
goes into a low-power mode. Your choices are
“Enabled” (default) or “Disabled.”
VESA Video Power Down
This option controls power to the monitor during the
low-power modes. Your choices are “Disabled,”
“Standby” (default), “Suspend,” or “Sleep.”
Press the right arrow (cursor) key to move to the Boot
Menu.
