MONITOR POWER CONTROL
This system provides monitor power control for monitors that conform to the VESA display
power management signaling protocol. This protocol defines different power consumption
conditions and uses the HSYNC and VSYNC signals to select a monitor’s power condition.
Table 6-6 lists the monitor power conditions.

Power Mode
Description
Active
Active
On
Monitor is completely powered up. If activated, the inactivity
counter counts down during system inactivity and if allowed to
tiemout, generates an SMI to initiate the Suspend mode.
Active
Inactive
Suspend
Monitor’s high voltage section is turned off and CRT heater
(filament) voltage is reduced from 6.6 to 4.4 VDC. The Off mode
inactivity timer counts down from the preset value and if allowed to
timeout, another SMI is generated and serviced, resulting in the
monitor being placed into the Off mode. Wake up from Suspend
mode is typically a few seconds.
Inactive
Inactive
Off
Monitor’s high voltage section and heater circuitry is turned off.
Wake up from Off mode is a little longer than from Suspend.
The timeout parameter set in the SIT record 03h and indexed at CMOS location 2Ch (bits
<4..0>) represents the period of system I/O inactivity required to elapse before the monitor is
placed into Suspend mode.
A separate timer function (enabled through CMOS location 1Fh, bit <1>) can be enabled to place
the monitor into the Off mode after 45 minutes of being in Suspend mode.
