Power Management Setup

This “Power Management Setup” option allows you to reduce power consumption.

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

of inactivity.

Details of Power Management Setup:

Power Management (User Define)

This field acts as the master control for the power management modes. User Define

allows you to set power saving options according to your preference; Disable dis-

ables the power saving features; Min Saving puts the system into power saving mode

after a long period of system inactivity; Max Saving puts the system into power

saving mode after a brief period of system inactivity.

IMPORTANT: Advanced Power Management (APM) should be installed to

keep the system time updated when the computer enters suspend mode acti-

vated by the BIOS Power Management. For DOS environments, you need to

add DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE in you CONFIG.SYS. For Windows 3.1x

and Windows 95, you need to install Windows including the APM feature. A

battery and power cord icon labeled "Power" will appear in the “Control Panel.”

Choose “Advanced” in the Power Management Field.

Video Off Option (Susp,Stby -> Off )

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

agement. The settings are Susp,Stby -> Off, All Modes -> Off, Always On, and Sus-

pend -> Off.

Video Off Method (DPMS OFF)

This field defines the video off features. The following options are available: DPMS

OFF, DPMS Reduce ON, Blank Screen, V/H SYNC+Blank, DPMS Standby, and

DPMS Suspend. The DPMS (Display Power Management System) features allow

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. If set up in your system, your screen saver will not display with

Blank Screen selected). V/H SYNC+Blank blanks the screen and turns off vertical

and horizontal scanning.
