Enable this field to use any of the power management options. If this
field is enabled and the other fields are disabled, only minimal power
reduction is affected.
Note: To use any of the Power management features, the
POWER.EXE driver must be loaded from the CONFIG.SYS file when
booting the computer. This is done automatically if the computer has
factory-installed software. Otherwise, include the
"DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE" statement to the CONFIG.SYS
file.
After a set period of computer inactivity, the BIOS places the
computer in a standby state (medium power savings), that is, the
monitor and CPU are set to power management. Any mouse or
keyboard activity quickly returns the computer to operation.
Alternately, this option may be disabled. Power management must be
enabled to use this option.
After a set period of computer inactivity, the BIOS places the
computer in a suspended state (maximum power savings), that is, the
monitor and fan are shut off and the CPU and hard disk are powered
down. Any mouse or keyboard activity quickly returns the computer
to operation.
When setting a timer for the field, Power Management should be set
to Enabled.
Alternately, this option may be disabled. Power management must be
enabled to use this option.
Enabling this option enables to suspend the computer immediately by
pressing the selected key sequence for the Quick Suspend Lock
setting.
Keyboard or mouse activity unlocks the keyboard and mouse unless
Suspend Lock System has been enabled.
When enabled, the Quick Suspend keyboard sequence can be pressed
(for example: [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Esc]) to lock both the mouse and
keyboard and put the computer into system suspend. Alternatively,
the computer can go into Suspend Lock when the computer reaches
the time period set in the System Suspend Timer. To enable Suspend
Lock System:
Set a Supervisor Password and a User Password to enable Power
Management.
Select a Quick Suspend sequence. If you want computer inactivity to
also trigger the Suspend Lock System feature, enter a time period for
System Suspend Timer.
To wake up the computer, enter the Supervisor Password.
Alternatively, a User Password can be entered, when it has been set.
