5: System Configuration

Power Management Setup

Main Section Functions

Configures power management settings. These are overridden by ACPI power management in Windows.

Default & Autodetected Settings

Everything on this screen is an optimized default.

Setting Options & Constraints

You can select the Minimum or Maximum configurations rather than the User Defined defaults. You can customize all settings in User Defined mode. If your OS supports power management, configure it there.

The Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN line controls the function of the system housing power button. The default sets it to turn the system on and off when you press the button. The alternate setting, delay 4 Sec., requires you to press the power button for more than four seconds before the system will turn off.

You can also set a date and time for the system to turn on or wake up using the Resume by Alarm settings.
