of inactivity.
Details of Power Management Setup:
Power Management (User Define)
This field acts as the master control for the power management modes. User Define
allows you to set power saving options according to your preference; Disable dis-
ables the power saving features; Min Saving puts the system into power saving mode
after a long period of system inactivity; Max Saving puts the system into power
saving mode after a brief period of system inactivity.
IMPORTANT: Advanced Power Management (APM) should be installed to
keep the system time updated when the computer enters suspend mode acti-
vated by the BIOS Power Management. For DOS environments, you need to
add DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE in you CONFIG.SYS. For Windows 3.1x
and Windows 95, you need to install Windows including the APM feature. A
battery and power cord icon labeled "Power" will appear in the “Control Panel.”
Choose “Advanced” in the Power Management Field.

This field determines when to activate the video off feature for monitor power man-
agement. The settings are Susp,Stby -> Off, All Modes -> Off, Always On, and Sus-
pend -> Off.
Video Off Method (DPMS OFF)
This field defines the video off features. The following options are available: DPMS
OFF, DPMS Reduce ON, Blank Screen, V/H SYNC+Blank, DPMS Standby, and
DPMS Suspend. The DPMS (Display Power Management System) features allow
the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports the DPMS feature. Blank
Screen only blanks the screen (use this for monitors without power management or
“green” features. If set up in your system, your screen saver will not display with
Blank Screen selected). V/H SYNC+Blank blanks the screen and turns off vertical
and horizontal scanning.
