Standby Mode

After the selected period of system inactivity, the CPU clock stops, the hard drive enters an idle state, and the L2 cache enters a power- save mode. All other devices still operate at full speed.

Suspend Mode

After the selected period of system inactivity, the chipset enters a hardware suspend mode, stopping the CPU clock and possibly causing other system devices to enter power management modes.

HDD Power Down

After the selected period of drive inactivity, any system IDE devices compatible with the ATA-2 specification or later power manage themselves, putting themselves into an idle state after the specified timeout and then waking themselves up when accessed.

Throttle Duty Cycle

When the system enters Doze mode, the CPU clock runs only part of the time. You may select the percent of time that the clock runs.

VGA Active Monitor

When Enabled, any video activity restarts the global timer for Standby mode.

Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN

When you select Instant Off or Delay 4 Sec., turning the system off with the on/off button places the system in a very low-power- usage state, either immediately or after 4 seconds, with only enough circuitry receiving power to detect power button activity or Resume by Ring activity.

Resume by Ring

When Enabled, an input signal on the serial Ring Indicator (RI) line (in other words, an incoming call on the modem) awakens the system from a soft off state.
