Chapter 4: BIOS Setup

4.5 Power Menu

The Power menu allows you to reduce power consumption. This feature

turns off the video display and shuts down the hard disk after a period of

inactivity.

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.
