Function
Power Management
Enables or disables Inactivity Timer and Hard Drive options.
Inactivity Timer
Determines the period of system inactivity (between 1 and 120 minutes) before certain system components enter a
low-power mode. To disable power management, leave this option set to Off (default).
NOTE: Leave this option set to Off if the operating system has power management controls.
Hard Drive
When set to Enabled (default), Hard Drive allows most EIDE hard-disk drives to automatically switch into low-
power mode after a specified period of system inactivity (called a time-out). The time-out period is set with the
Inactivity Timer option. When Hard Drive is set to Disabled, hard-disk drives do not switch into low-power mode.
VESA Video Power Down NOTES: This option is available only if the installed video card supports this feature.
If your computer is running Windows 98, use the Display icon in the Control Panel to save monitor power
instead of using the VESA Video Power Down option. If your computer is running Windows 2000, double-click
the Display icon in the Control Panel and then click the Power button on the Screen Saver tab to save monitor
power.
NOTICE: Before enabling this option, check the monitor documentation to make sure that the monitor is
DPMS-compliant; otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the monitor.
This option selects a VESA® power management mode for the monitor during periods of system inactivity. Settings
for this option are Disabled, Standby (default), Suspend, and Sleep.
