Power-Management Feature
The mainboard incorporates the latest power-conservation technology.
However, to take advantage of its energy-saving capabilities, the
mainboard must have an Intel SL-Enhanced or a power-saving CPU.
The Power-Management feature allows you to monitor system activity.
System activity refers to any action involving one or more of the
following devices: keyboard, mouse, diskette drives, fixed disk drives,
connected peripherals, or video memory. If no activity is detected
within a specified period of time (the inactivity time-out), the system
switches to one of the power-saving modes to conserve energy.
The Setup utility allows you to specify the
inactivity time-out. Refer to Section 2.4 for
more
configuration.
The power-management function does not
work when the cursor is emulated by
software
(Chinese
system), etc.
The system supports four power-management modes:
Monitor power-saving mode
IDE fixed disk standby mode
Standby mode
Suspend mode
MONITOR POWER-SAVING MODE
The Monitor Power-Saving Mode offers a quick-resume power-saving
mode for VESA DPMS-compliant VGA monitors. It allows temporary
power saving during operation.
