Asset Tag - Dell OptiPlex E1 Reference And Installation Manual

NOTES: All EIDE drives shipped with your system support this feature. (For more
information, see "Energy Star Compliance" in Chapter 1.)
However, not all EIDE hard-disk drives support this feature. Enabling this feature for
drives that do not support it may cause the EIDE drive to become inoperable until the
computer is restarted and the Power Management category is disabled.
In low-power mode, the disks inside the drive stop spinning. They remain idle until the
next drive access, which causes them to start spinning again. (Because the disks take
a few seconds to regain full speed, you may notice a slight delay the next time you
access the hard-disk drive.)
When Power Management is set to Disabled (the default), the disks spin con-
stantly as long as the system is turned on.

characters long into NVRAM. For information on using the utility, see "Using Drivers
and Utilities" in your online System User's Guide .
The following categories, which are not selectable, display information about the
