SETUP OPTIONS

Power Management Setup Screen

When you display the Power Management Setup screen, the format is similar to the sample shown above, except the screen displays only twenty options at a time. If you need to change other options, use the down arrow key to locate the appropriate option. The available values for each option are displayed on the right side of the screen when you tab or arrow into the field.

_______________________________________________________________________

NOTE: The values on this screen do not necessarily reflect the values appropriate for your SBC. Refer to the explanations below for specific instructions about entering correct information.
