2-26 Setup and Operation
Power Menu
Power management reduces the amount of energy used after specified periods of inactivity.
The Power menu provides the choice of operating the system in a full-on state or a full-
power reduction state when it is idle. (Power management is supported in systems running
the Windows 95 operating system.)
Power Management
This field allows you to enable or disable the power management options.
Selecting “Enabled” (the default) also allows you to further configure the Power
Management options.
Inactivity Timer
This field sets the length of time before the computer powers down various
system devices. Choices for inactivity time periods include 5, 10, 20 (the default),
and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or Off.
Hard Drive
When this field is enabled, the hard disk drive is powered down during periods of
inactivity. Choices include “Enabled” (default) and “Disabled.”
VESA Video Power Down
This field enables you to set the video power down level of inactivity. Choices
include “Disabled” and “Enabled” (the default).
Boot Menu
The Boot menu allows you to configure the system’s boot process.
Restore On AC/Power Loss
This field allows you to configure the system to automatically boot up or stay off
after power is restored to the system (after an unexpected power loss). The
default, “Last State,” restores the system to the state it was in before the power
loss. “Power On” causes the system to automatically boot up after power
restoration. Choose “Stay Off” for the system to stay off after power restoration.
If the field is set to “Stay Off,” On LAN does not work, even if the On LAN field
is set to “Power On or “Stay Off.”
On Modem Ring
This field enables an external modem to work even when the system is in a power
reduction state. Choose “Power On” (the default) to restore the system to full
power so it can receive a modem ring. Choose “Stay Off” if you do not want full
power restored on a modem ring.
