chooses “Stand By” or “Suspend”, it will depend on period of
parameter “Stand By Time out” or “Suspend Time out”.
Standby Time out (Minute)
This option specifies the length of the period of system
inactivity while the computer is in Full-On power state before
the computer is placed in Standby mode. When this length of
time expires, the computer enters Standby Timeout state. In
Standby mode, some power use is curtailed.
Suspend Time out (Minute)
This option is the same as Stand by Time out function. These
two features will be enabled to monitor power of sub-items “
Display Activity”, “Serial port”, “Parallel Port”, “Floppy

used to control CPU throttle running function. All of sub-items
will be ineffective in selection of disabling “Stand by Time
out” or “Suspend Time out” even if it can be choose by
user in BIOS setup menu.
Throttle Slow Clock Ratio
This option specifies the speed at which the system clock runs
in power saving modes. The settings are expressed as duty
cycle of the STPCLK# signal. This duty cycle indicates the
percentage of time the STPCLK# signal is asserted while in
the throttle mode.
Display Activity
This option specifies if BIOS is to monitor activity on the
display monitor for power conservation purposes. If set to
Monitor and the computer is in a power saving state, BIOS
