A Power Management Example
It may be helpful to enter the BIOS Setup Program (pressing F2 key during bootup), and open
the Power Menu for a visual reference as you read through this section.
The time-out settings for Standby, Suspend (to RAM) Time-out and the Suspend-to-Disk Time-
out specify the amount of time the system must be inactive before the next power management
level is enabled. The following example demonstrates this functionality.
In this example:
• Standby Time-out is set to 5 minutes
• Suspend (to RAM) Time-out is set to 5 minutes
• Suspend-to-Disk Time-out is set to 10 minutes
