3-4-2 Description of the Green Functions
This motherboard supports HDD Power Down, Doze and standby power saving functions
when Intel Pentium processor CPU is installed. The detail description of these functions
are provided as following:
HDD Standby Mode
When system stop reading or writing HDD, the timer starts to count. The system will cut
off the HDD power when timer ran out of time. The system will not resume operation until
either a read from or a write to HDD command is executed again.
Doze Mode
The system hardware will drop down CPU clock from normal working speed when Doze
mode timeout occurred.
Standby Mode
When the system standby mode timer ran out, it will enter the standby mode and retain
CPU at slow working speed. The screen will be blanked out.
Suspend Mode
When the system suspend timer time out, the system will enter the suspend mode and
the chipset will stop CPU clock immediately. The power consunption in Suspend Mode is
lower than in standby mode. The screen is also blanked out.
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 "Enable" or "Disable". When the
system detects all of the enabled events do not have any activity, it will start the system
Doze timer first if the "Power Management" isn't "Disabled". 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 "Enabled" 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 "Enabled" event occurred.
