Table 6-4Computer Setup—Power (continued)

OS Power

Runtime Power Management— Enable/Disable. Allows certain operating systems to reduce

Management

processor voltage and frequency when the current software load does not require the full

 

capabilities of the processor. Default is enabled.

 

Idle Power Savings—Extended/Normal. Allows certain operating systems to decrease the

 

processors power consumption when the processor is idle. Default is extended.

 

Unique Sleep State Blink Rates—Enable/Disable. This feature is designed to provide a visual

 

indication of what sleep state the system is in. Each sleep state has a unique blink pattern.

 

Default is disabled.

 

NOTE: For Windows 8 systems with Fast Boot support, a normal shutdown goes to the S4

 

state, not the S5 state.

 

S0 (On) = Solid white LED.

 

S3 (Stand By)= 3 blinks at 1Hz (50% duty cycle) followed by a pause of 2 seconds

 

 

(white LED) — repeated cycles of 3 blinks and a pause.

 

S4 (Hibernation)= 4 blinks at 1Hz (50% duty cycle) followed by a pause of 2 seconds

 

 

(white LED) — repeated cycles of 4 blinks and a pause.

 

S5 (Soft Off) = LED is off.

 

 

Hardware Power

SATA Power Management – Enables or disables SATA bus and/or device power management.

Management

Default is enabled.

 

PCI Express Power Management – Enables or disables Active State Power Management (ASPM) of

 

the bus. ASPM lets you set lower power modes that activate when the bus is not being used. Default

 

is ASPM Disabled.

 

S5 Maximum Power Savings – Turns off power to all nonessential hardware when system is off to

 

meet EUP Lot 6 requirement of less than 0.5 Watt power usage. Default is disabled.

 

 

Thermal

Fan idle mode—This bar graph controls the minimum permitted fan speed.

 

NOTE: This setting only changes the minimum fan speed. The fans are still automatically

 

controlled.
