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.
