4.5 Power Menu

Power Management: [User Define]
This option must be enabled to use any of the automatic power saving features. If this
menu item is set to [Disabled], power management features will not function regard-
less of other field settings on this menu. The [User Define] option allows you to make
your own selections in the Power menu. When set to [Max Saving], system power will
be conserved to its greatest amount. The Doze, Standby, and Suspend Mode fields
will then be set to predefined values that ensure maximum power savings.
This field acts as the master control for the power management modes. [Max Sav-
ing] puts the system into power saving mode after a brief period of system inactiv-
ity; [Min Saving] is almost the same as [Max Saving] except that this time the sys-
tem inactivity period is longer; [Disable] disables the power saving features; [User
Define] allows you to set power saving options according to your preference. Con-
figuration options: [User Define] [Disabled] [Min Saving] [Max Saving]
IMPORTANT: Advanced Power Management (APM) should be installed to keep
the system time updated when the computer enters suspend mode activated by the
BIOS Power Management. For DOS environments, you need to add the statement,
DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE, in your CONFIG.SYS. For Windows 3.x and
Windows 95, you need to install Windows with the APM feature. For Windows 98
and later, APM is automatically installed. A battery and power cord icon labeled
"Power Management" will appear in the Control Panel. Choose "Advanced" in the
Power Management Field.
