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". 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 power saving mode. 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. If no power management event occurs during this time period, meaning the computer is inactive during this period, the system will enter the Standby power saving mode. If this mode is disabled, the system will enter the next mode in the sequence (Suspend mode). 3-20 Chapter 3 Suspend 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 the computer is inactive during this period, the system will enter the Suspend power saving mode. If this mode is disabled, the system will not enter the Suspend mode. Throttle Duty Cycle: This is used to specify the CPU speed in power saving mode. Seven options are available: 12. 5%, 25. 0%, 37. 5%, 50. 0%, 62. 5% or 75. 0% . CPU Fan Off In Option: CPU fan can be turned off in suspend mode.

[. . . ] If it still does not start, note the VGA card model, mainboard model, Bios identification number, CPU on the technical support form (refer to main instructions), and describe the problem in the problem description space provided. F If you can boot up: Insert back the interface cards you have removed one by one and try to start the system each time you insert a card, until the system doesn't start anymore. Keep the VGA card and the interface card that causes the problem inserted on the mainboard, remove any other card or peripheral, and start again. If you still cannot start, note down the information related to both cards in the Add-On Card space provided, and don't forget to indicate the mainboard model, version, BIOS identification number, CPU (refer to main instructions), and give a description of the problem.
