Power Management

With the Power Management category

 

enabled, DPMS monitors and most EIDE

 

drives automatically switch into low-power

 

mode during periods of system inactivity.

 

CAUTION: Before enabling this feature,

 

check the monitor documentation to make

 

sure the system has a DPMS-compliant

 

monitor. Otherwise, there is a risk of dam-

 

aging the monitor.

 

NOTE: Not all EIDE hard-disk drives support

 

this feature. Enabling this feature for drives

 

that do not support it may cause the EIDE

 

drive to become inoperable until the system is

 

restarted and the Power Management category

 

is disabled.
