4. BIOS SETUP

Video Off Option [Suspend -> Off ]

This field determines when to activate the video off feature for monitor power management. Configuration options: [Always On] [Suspend -> Off]

Video Off Method [DPMS OFF]

This field defines the video off features. The DPMS (Display Power Management System) feature allows the BIOS to control the video display card if it supports the DPMS feature. [Blank Screen] only blanks the screen. (Use this for monitors without power management or “green” features. Your screen saver will not display with [Blank Screen] selected). [V/H SYNC+Blank] blanks the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning. Configuration options: [Blank Screen] [V/H SYNC+Blank] [DPMS Standby] [DPMS Suspend] [DPMS OFF] [DPMS Reduce ON]

Hard Disk Timeout [Disabled]

When enabled, this shuts down any IDE hard disk drives in the system after a period of inactivity as set in this user-configurable field. This feature does not affect SCSI hard drives. Configuration options: [Disabled] [1 Min] [2 Min] [3 Min]...[15 Min]

Auto Suspend Timeout [Off]

This sets the time period before the system goes into suspend mode. NOTE: This field is only effective for DOS, Windows 95, and Windows NT 4.0 environments. Configuration options: [Off] [20 Sec] [1 Min]...[40 Min]

PWR Button Behavior [On/Off]

When set to [On/Off], the ATX switch can be used as a normal system power- off button when pressed for less than 4 seconds. [Sleep/Wake] allows the button to have a dual function where pressing less than 4 seconds will place the system in sleep mode. Regardless of the setting, holding the ATX switch for more than 4 seconds will power off the system. NOTE: This field is only effective in APM OS system. Configuration options: [On/Off] [Sleep/ Wake]
