DPMS feature. [Blank Screen] only blanks the screen. Use this for monitors without
power management or “green” features. Configuration options: [V/H Sync+Blank]

in sleep mode. Regardless of the setting, holding the ATX switch for more than 4
seconds powers off the system. Configuration options: [Instant-off] [Suspend]
