Power Management Setup

The AMIBIOS Setup options described in this section are selected by choosing the Power Management Setup icon from the Setup section on the AMIBIOS Setup main menu.

Standard Power Management Set this option to Enabled to enable standard power management, including SMI support. The settings are Enabled, Instant On, or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.

Advanced Power Management (APM) Set this option to Enabled to enable APM. The settings are Enabled or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.

Instant-On Timeout (Minute) This option specifies the length of a period of system inactivity while the computer is in Full power on state. When this length of time expires, the computer enters a low power consumption state, but the computer can return to full power instantly when any system activity occurs. This option is only available if supported by the computer hardware. The settings are Disabled, 1 min. (minute), 2 min, 3 min., 4 min., 5 min., 6 min, 7 min., 8 min., 9 min., 10 min., 11 min., 12 min., 13 min., 14 min, or 15 min. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.

Auxiliary Power Supply Timeout This option specifies the power state that the auxiliary power supply enters when AMIBIOS places it in a power saving state after the specified period of display inactivity has expired. The settings are Standby, Suspend or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.
