Suspend Mode
This function works only when the Pentium CPU is installed. The timer starts to
count when "System Standby" mode timer timed out and no "PM Events" occurred.
Valid range is from 1 minute up to 1 hour. When the system suspend timer time out,
the system will enter the suspend mode and the chipset will stop CPU clock
immediately. The power consumption in Suspend Mode is lower than in standby
mode. The screen is also blanked out.

Video Off Method
This field defines the video off features. Three options are available: V/H SYNC +
Blank, DPMS and Blank Only . The first option, which is the default setting, blanks
the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning; "DPMS" (acronym for
Display Power management System) allows the BIOS to control the video display
card if it supports the DPMS feature; "Blank Only" only blanks the screen. Use the
latter for monitors that do not support the "Green" feature.
Take note that a screen saver software does not work with this feature. While the
monitor is shut off, this software cannot display.
PM Events:
AWARD BIOS defines 15 PM Events in the power management mode (Doze,
standby & suspend). The user can initial any PM Events to be "ON" or "OFF".
When the system detects all of the ON events do not have any activity, it will start
the system Doze timer first, if the "Power Management" isn't "OFF". Once the
system Doze timer timed out, it will process doze power saving procedure by
starting the system standby timer. When the standby timer ran out and all of the
"ON" events remains silent, the system will enter the standby mode. By now, the
system will not only process the standby power saving procedures but also start the
system suspend timer. When the suspend timer time out, all of the CPU clock will
be stopped by dropping system clock down to zero and remains this way until any
one of the "ON" event occurred.
