3.6.1 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 it to Disabled deactivates the power-management feature
and its timers. The default setting is Enabled.

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 you do not want your hard disk to enter the Standby mode. The
default setting is Off.
