Video Off Method
This field defines the video off features. Three options are available: “V/H
SYNC + Blank”, “DPMS” and “Blank Only”. The first option, which is the
default setting, blanks the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scan-
ning; “DPMS” (acronym for Display Power Management System) allows
the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports the DPMS feature;
“Blank Only” only blanks the screen. Use the latter for monitors that do not
support the “Green” feature.
Take note that a screen saver software does not work with this feature. While
the monitor is shut off, this software cannot display.
Suspend Switch
This field enables or disables the SMI connector on the motherboard. This
connector connects to the lead from the Suspend switch mounted on the
system case. Default setting for this field is “Enabled”.
Doze Speed, Stdby Speed
These two fields set the CPU speed during each mode. The number indi-
cates what the normal CPU speed is divided by.
PM Timers
This section controls the time-out settings for the Power Management
scheme. The fields included in this section are “HDD Power Down”, which
places the hard disk into its lowest power consumption mode, and the Doze,
Standby and Suspend system inactivation modes.
The system automatically “wakes up” from any power saving mode when
there is system activity such as when a key is pressed from the keyboard, or
when there is activity detected from the enabled IRQ channels.
“HDD Power Down” shuts down any IDE hard disk drives in the system
after a period of inactivity. This time period is user-configurable to “1-15
Mins or "Disable.” This feature does not affect SCSI hard drives.
The “Doze Mode”, “Standby Mode” and “Suspend Mode” fields set the
period of time after which each of these modes activate. At “Max Saving”,
these modes activate sequentially (in the given order) after one minute; at
“Min Saving” after one hour.
