Power-saving mode
If the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive has not been accessed within 30 seconds (in the case
of CD-ROM drive) or 120 seconds (in the case of DVD-ROM drive), the drive motor will
automatically shut down to reduce the power consumption. When the CD-ROM drive is
accessed once again, the power of the drive motor is turned on. However, approxi-
mately 30 seconds are required until data is actually read from the disc.
NOTE
If the vibration of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive is excessive, set the [CD-ROM/
DVD-ROM Drive Speed] to [Low] in the Setup Utility.
When a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM is being used, the Power Management Function
operates following the settings of the Setup Utility. It is possible to temporarily
disable the settings by pressing Fn + F8 .
