Power Management<br />

If you select the Power Management option from the Configuration/Setup Utility<br />

main menu, you can view and, in some cases, change settings that affect the<br />

energy-saving features of your computer, including the automatic power-on feature<br />

and advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI). With Power Management,<br />

your computer and monitor (if your monitor supports Display Power Management<br />

Signaling, DPMS) can be set to go into a reduced-power state if they are inactive for<br />

a specified length of time.<br />

Attention<br />

If a device, such as a monitor, does not have power-management capabilities, it<br />

can be damaged when exposed to a reduced-power state. Before you make<br />

energy-saving selections for your monitor, check the documentation supplied<br />

with your monitor to see if it supports Display Power Managem ent Signaling<br />

(DPMS).<br />

consumption during periods of hardware inactivity.<br />
