3.6 Power Management Setup
This option displays a table of items which lets you control the power
management of the system. Modern operating systems take care of much of the
routine power management. This motherboard supports ACPI (advanced
configuration and power interface).
This system supports three levels of power-saving modes; doze mode,
standby mode, and suspend mode. Standby mode uses less power than doze
mode and suspend mode uses the least power.
The power management in the setup utility lets you specify a timeout for
each of the power-saving modes, and a timeout for a hard disk drive power
down. A timeout, means a period of time when the system (or the hard disk
drive) is inactive. If the timeout completes, the system power-saving mode will
execute, or the hard disk drive will power down.
You can resume from the power-saving modes by carrying out any of the
activities, which are enabled in the list Reload Global Timer Events. If the hard
disk has been powered down it will automation resume to full power when an
access to the hard disk is required (this takes just a few seconds).
