@
Note that enabling the Power Management function will result in enabling the
HDD Power Down function (Max Saving = 15 min, Min Saving = 1 min). The
HDD Power Down function is not part of the Power Management scheme as
indicated in Figure 3-6 Refer to the Standby Mode, Suspend Mode, and HDD
Power Down descriptions below for more informaiton on hard drive power
management.
B. PM Control by APM
This function allows software other than BIOS to control Power Management
features Enable this function in BIOS and make sure APM (Advanced Power
Management) is present. For example, run the Power utility program located in
the DOS directory, C:\DOS\POWER.EXE to use Power Management features under
DOS. For Windows 3.1x and Windows 95, you need to install Windows with
the APM feature.
C. Video Off Method
This function serves as both a screen saver and power saver for monitors.
See the next function, Video Off After, for setting the video timer.
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.
