APM Configuration
This power management feature is an older standard and may not be as widely supported today as it once
was. The current preference for power management control is ACPI. The settings in this menu apply
equally to the APM or ACPI power management.
• Power Management/APM – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
This field enables power management for APM or ACPI. The ACPI feature is [Enabled] in the
default settings under the Advanced menu.
∗ If [Enabled] is selected, the following items appear on the screen.
♦ Video Power Down Mode – [Disabled], [Standby] or [Suspend]
∗ If [Disabled] is selected, the BIOS is prevented from initiating any power saving modes
related to the video display or the monitor.
∗ If [Standby] is selected, the monitor is placed into standby mode after the specified period
of display inactivity has expired. The monitor screen appears blacked out, but the monitor
remains powered in a low state.
∗ If [Suspend] is selected, the monitor is placed into a suspended mode after the specified
period of display inactivity has expired. The monitor screen appears blacked out, but the
monitor remains powered in a low state.
