Blank - BIOS will only blank the monitor's screen. The electricity saved
in this mode is negligible and this function is only used as a screen saver
to prevent screen damage while the screen is on but not in use.
V/H SYNC+Blank - The system turns off the vertical and horizontal syn-
chronization ports, writes blanks to the VGA buffer and the monitor's
electron gun turns off. This function requires a monitor with Green features
in order to take advantage of the power saving function. If you enable this
function and do not have a Green monitor, the result will be the same as
if you had selected Blank. This function serves as both a screen saver and
an electricity saver.
DPMS Supported - Select this option if your video card supports the Display
Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard (i.e., you have a monitor that
supports Green features). Use software supplied by your your video
subsystem to set video power management options.
E. Switch Function
When this option is set to Break/Wake, the system enters the suspend mode;
press the power button again to return to full power.
F. Modem Use IRQ
If your computer has an modem, use this function to tell BIOS which IRQ is
being occupied by the modem card. When the system is in Green mode, the
modem requires an IRQ assignment to wake up the system and perform tasks.
This assignment is compliant with the APM 1.2 specification and is to be used
in coordination with APM 1.2 compliant operating systems.
G. HDD Off After
After the selected period of drive inactivity, the hard disk drive powers down
while all other devices remain active. Selecting Suspend tells the drive to power
down immediately.
H. Doze Mode
The Power Management function must not be set to disabled to enable this
function. If no interrupts have occured and the Doze timer expires, system will
enter Doze mode. In Doze mode, the CPU clock runs at a lower speed while
all other devices operate normaly.
Power saving modes achieved in lower power saving states will either be
maintained or enter higher power saving modes when switching to higher
power saving states. For example, the CPU clock will not switch back to
normal in Standby mode. It will maintain a decreased rate in Standby Mode
and turn off in Suspend Mode.
