Auto Power On allows you to set the time and days of the week to turn on the com- puter system automatically. You can set Auto Power On to turn on the system either every day or every Monday through Friday.

NOTE: This feature does not work if you turn off your system using a power strip or surge protector.

Time is kept in a 24-hour format (hours:minutes). To change the start-up time, press the right-arrow key to increase the number in the highlighted field or press the left- arrow key to decrease the number. If you prefer, you can type numbers in both fields.

The default for Auto Power On is Disabled.

For certain types of monitors and most EIDE hard-disk drives, you can reduce system power consumption by enabling the power management feature. With Power Man- agement enabled, these monitors and drives automatically switch into low-power mode during periods of system inactivity.

Power Management can be implemented at three levels—Maximum, Regular, and Minimum. (The different levels apply to the monitor only; hard-disk drive operation is the same for all three.) The default setting for this option is Disabled.
