This field acts as the master control for the power management modes. Max Saving

puts the system into power saving mode after a brief period of system inactivity;

Min Saving is almost the same as Max Saving except that this time the system inac-

tivity period is longer; Disable disables the power saving features; User Define al-

lows you to set power saving options according to your preference.
