Power Menu
Video Off Option [Suspend -> Off ]
This field determines when to activate the video off feature for monitor
power management. Configuration options: [Always On] [Suspend -> Off]
Video Off Method [DPMS OFF]
This field defines the video off features. The DPMS (Display Power Manage-
ment System) feature allows 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 scan-
ning. Configuration options: [Blank Screen] [V/H SYNC+Blank] [DPMS
Standby] [DPMS Suspend] [DPMS OFF] [DPMS Reduce ON]
HDD Power Down [Disabled]
Shuts down any IDE hard disk drives in the system after a period of inac-
tivity as set in this user-configurable field. This feature does not affect
SCSI hard drives. Configuration options: [Disabled] [1 Min] [2 Min] [3
Min]...[15 Min]
Suspend-to-RAM Capability [Disabled]
Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is an energy-saving feature. In Suspend-to-RAM
state, all devices on the computer are turned off, except for the system
RAM. Thus, the PC consumes less than 5 Watts of power. [Auto] allows
the BIOS to provide STR support, but to make the STR feature function,
your operating system, device drivers, and power supply all have to support
this feature. Please make sure your power supply can supply at least 720mA
on the +5VSB lead. If your OS, power supply, and the expansion cards you
use on the motherboard do not support the STR function, you may leave
this field on the default setting [Disabled]. Configuration options: [Auto]
[Disabled]
CPU Fan in Standby Mode [On]
Select [ON] to make CPU Fan keep turning in Standby Mode. Configura-
tion options: [ON] [OFF]
Suspend Mode [Disabled]
Sets the time period before the system goes into suspend mode. Configu-
ration options: [Disabled] [30 Sec] [1 Min]... [40 Min]
