modify when and how the workstation utilizes the power saving mode.

click the mouse button.  An Options menu displays allowing you to

select one of the choices.

Advanced Power Management 

-- For workstations using an operating

system that supports Advanced Power Management, this parameter enables

or disables the power management BIOS support.  When set to Enabled, the

workstation enters power saving mode after a specific timeout value.  If set

to Disabled (default), the power saving functionality is not used.

IDE Drive Power Down 

-- This parameter allows IDE drives to be shut off

by the BIOS when the system enters power saving mode.  Since IDE drives

are not supported, the default is Disabled.

VESA Video Power Down 

-- This parameter allows the video BIOS to

perform power saving operations when the system enters power saving

mode.  The default is Enabled.

Timeout Value 

-- This parameter allows you to set the duration of

keyboard or mouse inactivity before the system enters power saving mode.

The default is five minutes.

ports, and parallel port functionality.
