If [Disabled] is selected, the system is prevented from entering the suspend mode.

If [1 to 60] is selected, the system enters suspend mode after being inactive for the specified number of minutes, such as, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 4 minutes, etc.

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.

Hard Disk Power Down Mode – [Disabled], [Standby] or [Suspend]

If [Disabled] is selected, the hard disk drive (HDD) is prevented from going into a power down mode.

If [Standby] is selected, the hard disk drive (HDD) is stopped from spinning during this standby mode.
