The Apricot Power Management
Time till power saving
The system will enter low power standby mode after the specified
period of mouse/ keyboard inactivity. If "Disabled" then the system
will only enter power saving mode if the standby button on the front
the machine is pressed. The processor slows down, and provided
that the Monitor control option is also "Enabled", the monitor
display will blank out. The operating system and your system
continue to run, although slowly. You can wake up the computer
again by moving the mouse or pressing any keyboard key.
Hard disk power saving
If this option is "Enabled", the hard disk drive will stop spinning or
spin down after 20 minutes of inactivity. If "Disabled" then the
hard disk will spin down only when the Standby button on the
front of the machine is pressed.
Monitor control
This option is only intended to be used with monitors that support
Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS). If "Enabled" the
monitor will go blank when the computer enters standby mode.
Another way of saving monitor power is by using the power-saving
features of Windows, see the on-line Windows help for details.
