Setup 5 — Power Management Setup
The Little Board P6d CPU BIOS incorporates power management features compliant with
Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS Interface Specification Revision 1.1, created by Intel
and Microsoft. Setup 5 — Power Management Setup allows you to configure your system to most
effectively save energy while operating at the speed and response level you need in your
application. Figure 2-11 shows what can be configured on the Setup 5 page. A description of each
option is listed below.
Note
When features of the APM BIOS are enabled, some reduced power
states are entered automatically. Reduced power states alter the
performance of the system, usually slowing or halting the CPU. Use
the power management functions with care when using the Little
Board P6d in applications that require guaranteed maximum
response times.
