2.6.2 Power Saving Operation Mode
This parameter allows you to set the operation mode for power saving.
The options are
QuickStart
and
Traditional
.
In the QuickStart mode, the monitor, keyboard and keyboard LED,
mouse, hard disk, and hard disk/message LED go off when you press
the system power switch in less than four seconds. The monitor and
power LEDs remain blinking. The system returns to normal operation
when you press the power switch again. Selecting
QuickStart
grays
out the Sleep Timer, and the Sleep Mode parameters.
In the Traditional mode, normal power saving operation takes effect
depending on the settings on the power saving timers. Pressing the
power switch in less than four seconds causes the system to enter
system suspend mode or power off depending on the setting.
Selecting
Traditional
grays out the QuickStart State Timer and the
IDE Hard Disk Standby Timer parameters. The grayed parameters
are non-configurable.
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 your hard disk does not support this function.
System Sleep Timer
This parameter automatically puts the system to power-saving mode
after a specified period of inactivity. Any keyboard or mouse action, or
any activity detected from the IRQ channels resumes system
operation.
