Standby Mode
The Standby Timeout field in System Setup enables you to specify the
time period that the computer can remain idle (no user input or disk
activity) before the computer enters standby mode. You can disable
this option by selecting Off, or you can specify a Standby Timeout delay
time of from 1 to 16 minutes.

controller slow down. The LCD backlight, hard drive, floppy drive, PC
Card controller, and some other devices turn off to save energy. DPMS

mode has elapsed.
