4.2.4 Power Management Setup<br />

Power Management Setup options are displayed by choosing the Power Management icon from the<br />

AMIBIOS Setup main menu. All Power Management Setup options are described in this section.<br />

The Advanced Power Management specification defines four power states:<br />

Power State<br />

Ready<br />

Standby<br />

Suspend<br />

Off<br />

Affects….<br />

In the ready state the computer or device is fully powered up and<br />

ready for use. The computer can be active or idle.<br />

The Standby State is an intermediate system-dependent state that tries<br />

to conserve power. The state is entered when the <strong>CPU</strong> is idle for a<br />

pre-specified length of time. The computer does not return to the<br />

Ready state until a device raises a hardware interrupt or a device is<br />

accessed. All data and operational parameters are preserved.<br />

Suspend is the lowest level of power consumption available that still<br />

preserves operational data and parameters. When the computer is in<br />

Suspend mode, no computation is performed until normal activity is<br />

resumed. Activity cannot resume unless signalled by an external<br />

event.<br />

The computer is powered down and inactive in Off state. Data and<br />

operational parameters may or may not be preserved in this state.<br />

• Power Management/APM Set this option to Enabled to enable the power management and<br />

APM (Advanced Power Management) features. The settings are Disabled, Enabled or Inst-on.<br />

Selecting the option Inst-on is not supported unless external hardware is added. The default Optimal<br />

setting is Enabled. The Fail-Safe setting is Disabled.<br />

• Instant-On Timeout This option specifies the length of a period of system inactivity while the<br />

computer is in Full power on state. When this length of time expires, AMIBIOS takes the computer<br />

to a lower power consumption state, but the computer can return to full power instantly when any<br />

system activity occurs. The settings are Disabled, 1 Min, 2 Min, and all one minute intervals up to<br />

and including 15 Min. The default settings are Disabled.<br />

• Green PC Monitor Power State This option specifies the power management state that the<br />

Green PC-compliant video monitor enters after the specified period of display inactivity has<br />

expired. The settings are Standby, Suspend or Off. The default settings are Standby.<br />

• Video Power Down Mode This option specifies the power management state that the video<br />

subsystem enters after the specified period of display inactivity has expired. The settings are<br />

Disabled, Standby, or Suspend. The default settings are Disabled.<br />

• Hard Disk Power Down Mode This option specifies the power management state that the hard<br />

disk drive enters after the specified period of display inactivity has expired. The settings are<br />

Disabled, Standby, or Suspend. The default settings are Disabled.<br />

• Hard Disk Time Out (Minutes) This option specifies the length of a period of hard disk drive<br />

inactivity. When this length of time expires, the computer enters power-conserving state specified in<br />

the Hard Disk Power Down Mode option. The settings are Disabled, 1 Min, 2 Min, and all one<br />

minute intervals up to and including 15 Min. The default settings are Disabled.<br />
