Management
Enables or disables other options on the Power screen.
Inactivity Timer Determines the period of system inactivity (from 1 to 16 min-
utes) before certain system components enter a low-power
mode. To disable power management, set this option to 0.
Hard Drive When set to Enabled (default), Hard Drive allows most EIDE
hard-disk drives to automatically switch into low-power mode
after a specified period of system inactivity (called a
time-
out
). The time-out period is set with the Inactivity Timer
option. When Hard Drive is set to Disabled, hard-disk drives
do not switch into low-power mode.
