Power Management Setup

Power Management Setup lets you control the system power. The system
has various power-saving modes — including powering down the hard
disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down
— that allows the system to automatically resume by certain events.

The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is
inactive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If inactivity continues
and reaches the defined timeout period, the system enters a power saving
mode. If any item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is enabled, then
any activity on that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.

If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can
be resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a
modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system real-time
clock.
