Using Setup and Power Management 3-9
NOTE
Some operating systems, like Windows 95,
have their own power management software which
overrides CMOS settings. In this case, use the
Setup utility to set your desired power management
settings.
Power Management Under AC — Specifies whether to
enable power management features when AC power is in
use. When AC power is connected to your NEC Versa
system, power management is usually disabled. If you
enable this parameter, the system automatically activates
the power management features even when AC power is
used.
Power Savings Level — Lets you choose one of four
levels of power management.
High Perform provides the greatest system perform-
ance with only minimal power conservation.
Longest Life provides the maximum amount of
power savings and extends battery life.
Off disables power management and all device time-
outs.
Custom lets you define your own power manage-
ment configuration by selecting values for specific
device timeouts. Custom lets you set the following
timeouts.
– Hard Disk Timeout — Allows you to select the
amount of time before your hard disk shuts
down.
– Video Timeout — Allows you to select the
amount of time before your video shuts down.
