Power Management Setup Menu The difference between Green PCs and traditional computers is that Green PCs have a power management feature. With this feature, when the computer is powered on but inactive, the power consumption is reduced in order to save energy. When the computer operates normally, it is in Normal mode. In this mode, the Power Management Program will control the access to video, parallel ports, serial ports and drives, and the operating status of the keyboard, mouse and other device. These are referred to as Power Management Events. In cases where none of these events occur, the system enters the power saving mode. When one of the controlled events occurs, the system immediately returns to normal mode and operates at its maximum speed. 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: SL6 BIOS Setup 3-33 Figure 3-7A.
