Page 41: Power Management Setup
Power Management Setup This option lets you control system power management. The system has vari- ous power-saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down that allows the sys- tem to be automatically resumed by certain events. The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. - Page 42 the suspend mode is equivalent to a software power down. If you select S3 (STR), the suspend mode is a suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh current to the system memory. Power Management (User Define) This item acts like a master switch for the power-saving modes and hard disk timeouts.
