IBM 6269, 6578, 6579, 6059, 6058, 6569, 6568, 6648, 6649 Automatic Hardware Power Management features

Attention: If a device, such as a monitor, does not have power-management capabilities, it can be damaged when exposed to a reduced-power state. Before making energy-saving selections for the monitor, check the documentation supplied with the monitor to see if it supports Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS).

	Automatic Hardware Power Management features
	Automatic Hardware Power Management can reduce the power states of the
	computer, processor, and monitor (if the monitor supports DPMS) if they are
	inactive for a predetermined length of time.
	There are three levels of specified time that the computer must be inactive
	before the power management options that are selected take effect. Select the
	amount of time that is offered within each level.
Level 1	Set time from 5 minutes to 4 hours.
Level 2	Set time from 10 minutes to 5 hours.
Level 3	Set time from 15 minutes to 6 hours.
	At each level, you can define the amount of energy savings by specifying
	values for the following options.
	v
	System Power
	– Select On for the computer to remain on.
	– Select Off for the computer to shut down.
	v
	Processor Speed
	Set the microprocessor to be disabled, or to run at 1, 10, 25, or 50 percent of
	its internal clock speed.
	v
	Display
	Set display to be disabled or to be reduced at these power states:

–Standby: Screen is blank, but can be restored immediately when any activity is detected.

–Suspend: Monitor uses less power than in Standby mode. Screen image is restored after a few seconds when any activity is detected.

–Off: Monitor power is off. Press Monitor power button to restore power. On some monitors, you might have to depress the power button twice.
