It supports the Intel CPU SLOT1(Pentium®II), up to 384MB of memory, super I/O, and Green PC functions. The mainboard provides high performance for the server system and meets the requirements of the desktop system for multimedia in the future. ¬ Specifications 1. [. . . ] Power saving modes can be divided into three modes according to their power consumption: Doze Mode, Standby Mode , and Suspend Mode. The four modes proceed in the following sequence: Normal Mode===> Doze Mode===> Standby Mode===> Suspend Mode The system consumption is reduced according the following sequence: Normal > Doze > Standby > Suspend 1. In the Main Menu, select "Power Management Setup" and press "Enter". The following screen is displayed: Fig 3-5 Power Management Setup Menu 3-18 Chapter 3 2. Use arrow keys to go to the item you want to configure. To change the settings, use "PgUP", "PgDn", "+" and "-". After you have configured the Power Management feature, press "Esc" to go back to the Main Menu. We are now going to briefly explain the options in this menu: Power Management: Four options: ä ä User Define User Define defines the delay for accessing the power modes. Min Saving When the three saving modes are enabled, the system is set up for minimum power savings. Doze = 1 hour Standby = 1 hour Suspend = 1 hour Max Saving When the three saving modes are enabled, the system is set up for maximum power savings. Doze = 1 minute Standby = 1 minute Suspend = 1 minute ä PM Control by APM: Power Management is completely controlled by the APM. APM stands for Advanced Power Management, it is a power management standard set by Microsoft, Intel and other major manufacturers. Video Off Method: Three video off methods are available: "Blank", "V/H SYNC + Blank" and "DPMS". The default is "V/H SYNC + Blank". If this setting does not shut off the screen, select "Blank". If your monitor and video card support DMPS standard, select "DPMS". Introduction of BIOS 3-19 Video Off After: Select the saving mode in which the video is switched off. ä ä ä ä NA The video will never be switched off in no saving mode. Doze The video will be switched off in all saving modes. Standby The video will only be switched off in Standby or Suspend mode. Suspend The video will only be switched off in Suspend mode. IDE HDD Power Down: If the system has not accessed data on the hard disk drive during the specified time period, the engine of the HDD will stop in order to save electricity. You can set 1 to 15 minutes or select Disable according to your use of the HDD. Doze Mode: When the setting selected for "Power Management" is "User Define", you can define for this mode any delay from 1 minute to 1 hour. If no power management event occurs during this time period, meaning that computer is inactive during this period, the system will enter the Doze power saving mode. If this mode is disabled, the system will enter the next mode in the sequence (Standby or Suspend mode). Standby Mode: When the setting selected for "Power Management" is "User Define", you can define for this mode any delay from 1 minute to 1 hour.
