BIOS

Green PC Monitor Power State

This option specifies the power state that a green PC-compliant monitor

enters when BIOS places it in a power saving state after the specified

period of display inactivity has expired. The settings include Standby, Sus-

pend and Off.

Video Power Down Mode

This option specifies the power state that the VGA video subsystem enters

after the specified period of display inactivity has expired. The settings

include Disabled, Standby and Suspend.

Hard Disk Power Down Mode

This option specifies the power conserving state that the hard disk drive(s)

enters after the specified period of inactivity has expired. The settings

include Disabled, Standby and Suspend.

Hard Disk Time Out (Minutes)

This option specifies the length of hard disk inactivity time that should expire

before entering the power conserving state specified in the previous set-

ting. The settings include Disabled and increments of 1-15 minutes.

Display Activity

This option specifies if BIOS is to monitor for display activity when in a

power saving state. The Ignore setting means any display activity will not

wake the system up from a power management state. The Monitor setting

allows display activity to wake up the system from a power management

state.

Manual Throttle Ratio

When in a power management state, throttling can be used to lower power

consumption and reduce heat. This option allows the CPU to operate at a

reduced average power, which includes a sacrifice in performance. The

settings include 87.5%, 75.0%, 62.5%, 50%, 37.5%, 25% and 12.5%. (A

setting of 75.0% means the BIOS will throttle back the CPU clock to operate

75% of the time.)
