Power Management Setup

 

 

Suspend Time Out

This option specifies the length of the period of system inactivity when the computer is already in Standby mode before it is placed in Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, nearly all power use is curtailed.

The default for this option depends on the value selected in the Standby/Suspend Timer Unit option.

The Setup screen displays the system option:

Suspend Time Out

Disabled

Available options are:

Disabled

32 through 4064, in increments of 32 (if the Standby/Suspend Timer Unit option is set to 32 secs)

4 through 508, in increments of 4 (if the Standby/Suspend

Timer Unit option is set to 4 msec, 4 min or 4 sec)

Slow Clock Ratio

This option specifies the speed at which the system clock runs when the system is in Standby power saving mode. The settings are expressed as a percentage between the normal processor clock speed and the processor clock speed when the system is in the power-conserving state.

The Setup screen displays the system option:

Slow Clock Ratio

50%-62.5%

Available options are:

0-12.5%

12.5%-25%

25%-37.5%

37.5%-50%

50%-62.5%

62.5%-75%

75%-87.5%

Display Activity

This option enables event monitoring on the video display. If the option is set to Monitor and the computer is in a power-saving mode, AMIBIOS watches for display activity. If any activity occurs, the computer enters the full power-on mode and AMIBIOS restarts the Standby and Suspend time-out timers.

The Setup screen displays the system option:

Display Activity
