Power Management [User Define]
This option must be enabled to use any of the automatic power saving features. If this menu item is
set to [Disabled], power management features will not function regardless of other field settings on
this menu. The [User Define] option allows you to make your own selections in the Power menu.
When set to [Max Saving], system power will be conserved to its greatest amount.The Suspend
Mode field will then be set to predefined value that ensures maximum power savings.
This field acts as the master control for the power management modes. [Max Saving] puts the
system into power saving mode after a brief period of system inactivity; [Min Saving] is almost the
same as [Max Saving] except that the system inactivity period is longer; [Disabled] disables the
power saving features; [User Define] allows you to set power saving options according to your
preference. Configuration options: [User Define] [Disabled] [Min Saving] [Max Saving]
IMPORTANT: Advanced Power Management (APM) should be installed to keep the system time
updated when the computer enters suspend mode activated by the BIOS Power Management. For
DOS environments, you need to add the statement, DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE, to your
CONFIG.SYS file. For Windows 3.x and Windows 95, you need to install Windows with the APM
feature. For Windows 98 and later, APM is automatically installed. A battery and power cord icon
labeled “Power Management” will appear in the “Control Panel.” Choose “Advanced” in the Power
Management Properties dialog box.
