Chapter 2: BIOS information

Even if installed, your screen saver does not display when you select [Blank

Screen] for the above field.

Power Management [User Defined]

This field allows you to activate or deactivate the automatic power saving features.

When set to [Disabled], the power management features do not function

regardless of the other settings on this menu. The [User Defined] option allows you

to set the period of inactivity before the system enters suspend mode. Refer to

“Suspend Mode” item.

When set to [Max Saving], system power is conserved to its greatest amount. This

setting automatically puts the system into suspend mode after a brief period of

system inactivity. [Min Saving] allows the least power saving as the system enters

suspend mode only after a long period of inactivity. Configuration options: [User

Defined] [Disabled] [Min Saving] [Max Saving]

You should install the Advanced Power Management (APM) utility to keep the

system time updated even when the computer enters suspend mode. In

Windows 3.x and Windows 95, you need to install Windows with the APM

feature. In Windows 98 or later, APM is automatically installed as indicated by a

battery and power cord icon labeled “Power Management” in the Control Panel.

Select the item “Advanced” in the Power Management Properties dialog box.

Video Off Option [Suspend -> Off ]

This field determines when to activate the video off feature for monitor power

management. Configuration options: [Always On] [Suspend -> Off]

Video Off Method [DPMS OFF]

This field defines the video off features. The Display Power Management System

(DPMS) feature allows the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports the

DPMS feature. [Blank Screen] only blanks the screen. Use this for monitors without

power management or “green” features.

[V/H SYNC+Blank] blanks the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal

scanning. Configuration options: [Blank Screen] [V/H SYNC+Blank] [DPMS

Standby] [DPMS Suspend] [DPMS OFF] [DPMS Reduce ON]

HDD Power Down [Disabled]

Shuts down any IDE hard disk drives in the system after a period of inactivity as

set in this user-configurable field. This feature does not affect SCSI hard drives.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [1 Min] [2 Min] [3 Min]...[15 Min]

ACPI Suspend To RAM [Enabled]

This field allows you to enable or disable the ACPI Suspend-to-RAM feature. To

support this feature, the +5VSB of the power supply should have the capacity to

provide more than 720mA current. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
