3-5 Power Management Setup
This section provides information on the Green PC power management functions. By
choosing the Power Management Setup option from the CMOS Setup Utility menu
(Figure 3-1), the screen below is displayed. This sample screen contains the
manufacturer's default values for the motherboard.
ACPI Suspend Type
This feature allows user to select a suspend type for the operating system to turn off
peripherals devices, such as CD-ROM players, when they are not in use.
Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume
Available options: [Auto], [Yes] and [No].
Power Management
Power management allows the computer to save electricity when it is not in use by
entering increasingly deep power saving modes.
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.
1. 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.
