Power Management Mode - Acer V35N User Manual

2.5.1

Power Management Mode

This parameter allows you to reduce power consumption. When this
parameter is set to Enabled , you can configure the IDE hard disk and
system timers. Setting to Disabled deactivates the power
management feature and all the timers.
IDE Hard Disk Standby Timer
This parameter allows the hard disk to enter standby mode after
inactivity of 1 to 15 minutes, depending on your setting. When you
access the hard disk again, allow 3 to 5 seconds (depending on the
hard disk) for the disk to return to normal speed. Set this parameter to
Off if your hard disk does not support this function.
System Standby Timer
This parameter sets the system to a "fast-on" power saving mode. It
automatically enters into the standby mode after a specified period of
inactivity. Any keyboard or mouse action, or any enabled monitored
activities occurring through the IRQ channels resume system
operation. See section 2.5.2.
System Suspend Timer
This parameter sets the system to the lowest power saving mode. It
automatically enters into the suspend mode after a specified period of
inactivity.
In suspend mode, the CPU clock stops. Any keyboard or mouse
action, or any enabled monitored activities occurring through the IRQ
channels resume system operation. See section 2.5.2.
