4.5 Power Menu
The Power menu allows you to reduce power consumption. This feature
turns off the video display and shuts down the hard disk after a period of
inactivity.
Power Management [User Defined]
This field allows you to activate or deactivate the automatic power saving
features. When set to [Disabled], the power management features do not
function regardless of the other settings on this menu. The [User Defined]
option allows you to set the period of inactivity before the system enters
suspend mode. Refer to “Suspend Mode” later in this section.
When set to [Max Saving], system power is conserved to its greatest amount.
This setting automatically puts the system into suspend mode after a brief
period of system inactivity. [Min Saving] allows the least power saving as the
system enters suspend mode only after a long period of inactivity.
Configuration options: [User Defined] [Disabled] [Min Saving] [Max Saving]
IMPORTANT! You should install the Advanced Power Management
(APM) utility to keep the system time updated even when the computer
enters suspend mode. In Windows 3.x and Windows 95, you need to
install Windows with the APM feature. In Windows 98 or later, APM is
automatically installed as indicated by a battery and power cord icon
labeled “Power Management” in the Control Panel. Select the item
“Advanced” in the Power Management Properties dialog box.
