Hard disk time-out
This parameter allows you to specify an amount of time after which the hard disk (fixed disk drive) powers down if
it has not been accessed during this Hard disk time-out value. Press ENTER on the parameter, and an entry
window appears in which you can type in the amount of time in minutes.
Defining a value of 0 (zero) disables this parameter, taking the hard disk drive out of power management control.
Screen time-out
Use this parameter to specify the amount of time after which the screen blanks if there has not been any mouse
or keyboard activity during this Screen time-out value. Press ENTER on the parameter, and an entry window
appears in which you can type in the amount of time in minutes.
This time-out value can be controlled by changing:
this Screen time-out parameter in the User-Power menu,
the Time-out value in the Security level parameter of the User-Security menu and
the Monitor time-out in the PowerMASTER Windows graphical user interface.
Defining a value of 0 (zero) disables this parameter, taking the display out of power management control.
