2.6.1 Power Management Mode
This parameter allows you to reduce power consumption. When this
parameter is set to Enabled, you can configure the IDE hard disk and
system timers. Setting it to Disabled deactivates the
power-management feature and its timers.
IDE Hard Disk Standby Timer
This parameter allows the hard disk to enter standby mode after
inactivity of 1 to 15 minutes, depending on your setting. When you
access the hard disk again, allow 3 to 5 seconds (depending on the
hard disk) for the disk to return to normal speed. Set this parameter to
OFF if your hard disk does not support this function.
