for monitors without power management or “green” features. Your screen saver
will not display with [Blank Screen] selected). [V/H SYNC+Blank] blanks the
screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning. Configuration options:

PWR Button Behavior [On/Off]

the system in sleep mode. Regardless of the setting, holding the ATX switch
for more than 4 seconds will power off the system. NOTE: This field is
only effective in APM OS system. Configuration options: [On/Off] [Sleep/
