The Inactivity Timer1 option sets the time-out period for

video signals to your monitor. When the mouse or keyboard
has been inactive for the time period you select here, your

computer stops sending video signals to your monitor. If your

monitor is also Energy Star compliant, it goes into a low-power

standby mode because it isn’t receiving video signals from

your computer. Screens on monitors that aren’t Energy Star

compliant will go blank when your system is in standby mode.

If you select a time period for the Lockout Timer as well as

the Inactivity Timer1 option, the system won’t accept your
keyboard input for the specified period of time after your

system has returned to an active mode. This allows time for

your monitor to return to full power also.

The Fixed Disk Timeout option determines the time-out

period for your hard disk drive. The hard disk drive goes into a

low-power standby mode when the mouse and keyboard have

been inactive for the period of time you’ve indicated.

Note

Some hard disk drives do not support a low-power standby

mode. Also, the delay caused by the hard disk drive
returning to active mode may cause errors in some

applications. If you have problems, you may want to disable
