Automatic Power Off. If Rapid Resume is enabled,
this option lets you set the amount of time that will pass
before your computer turns off automatically. For
example: 30 minutes means that if the mouse,
keyboard, or hard disk are not used for 30 minutes, the
computer turns off automatically.
Only energy-saving monitors will turn off

conserving energy. For example: 20 minutes means
that if the mouse, keyboard, and hard disk are not used
for 20 minutes, your display goes blank and the hard
disk in your computer starts using less power.
Only energy-saving monitors power down during
