Inactivity Defnitions Tab
Te Inactivity Defnitions tab is used to defne when a workstation is inactive.
Te basic defnition that Power Save uses to defne inactivity is stated at the top of the tab: the mouse
and/or keyboard are not being used. Te other options are in addition to this defnition.
By default, the four confgurable options are not selected (unless pre-set via the Power Save Assistant).
If no confguration is done to this tab, the only element of inactivity will be keyboard and mouse
movement.
To include CPU activity in the inactivity defnition, select CPU Usage and use the slider bar to confgure
the percentage of CPU usage which defnes inactivity.
To include network activity in the inactivity defnition, select Network Usage and use the slider bar to
confgure the amount of network trafc (in kB/s) which defnes inactivity.
To include hard disk activity in the inactivity defnition, select Hard Drive Usage and use the slider bar
to confgure the amount of hard disk trafc (in kB/s) which defnes inactivity.
For all of the above inactivity defnitions, the program will check for activity every 30
seconds to determine if the utilization is below the designated amount.
To include the activity of running applications in the inactivity defnitions, select Do not manage power
if any of the following applications are running. If any of the applications which are added to this list are
running, the computer is considered active and shutdown/sleep actions will not occur.
To add an individual application to the list, click the icon, browse to the location of the desired
program, and click Choose or drag and drop the program into the list. Te application is then added to
the list. To remove an application from the list, select it and click the icon.
Power Save will continue to manage monitor power when CPU Usage, Network Usage or the Hard
Disk Usage is above the threshold set in the Inactivity Defnitions tab.
