Auto Power On allows you to turn on your computer system automatically. You can set Auto Power On to turn on the system either every day or every Monday through Friday at a preset time.

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

Select Everyday or Mon–Fri, and then use the down-arrow key to highlight first the hours field and then the minutes field. 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 6DYLQJthe same0RQLWRUfor all three3RZHU.) The feature can also be set to Disabled.

If you have a Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA® ) Display Power Man- agement Signaling (DPMS)-compliant monitor, enabling Power Management reduces monitor power consumption during periods of keyboard and mouse inactivity.
