Power Management

Power management lets you set up your computer to save electrici-

ty when it is not actively in use by putting the system into progres-

sively greater power saving modes.  In the power management

scheme there are four system states which proceed in the following

sequence:

Normal 

à Doze à  Standby à  Suspend

There are four selections for Power Management (PM):

Disabled

Turns off PM

Max Saving

Maximized power saving by activating maxi-

mum power saving settings after one minute of

system inactivity.

Min Saving

Produces less power saving by activating

moderate power saving settings after one hour

of system inactivity.

User Defined

You set the power saving options manually.

With the exception of Disabled, three of the above selections have

"fixed-mode" settings.  Therefore, when PM is set to Disabled,

some items which are predefined will become unmodifiable.

PM Control by APM

When this is set to Yes, the Advanced Power Management feature

in Microsoft Windows controls power management operation.  The

default setting is No.

Video Off Option

User can select 4 different modes for turning off the video.  The

modes are a function of the PM mode of the computer.The choices

are All Modes

àOff, Always On, SuspendàOff, and Susp, St-

by

àOff.

The table below summarizes the behavior of the monitor in relation

to the four PM modes.
