Chart of Power Settings [WinBook XP]
Loading Default Settings
If you accessed Power Management Setup only, by using the ‘Fn’ + ‘F8’ key command, when
you press ‘F5’, it will load only the defaults for Power Management. If, however, you accessed
the entire Setup program using the ‘CTRL’ + ‘ALT’ + ‘S’ command, then ‘F5’ will load the
system defaults for all the Setup program pages.
Power Management
This line is the master switch for all the power management features. You have to enable power
management here for any of the features to work. There are two options for this feature.
“Always” enables power management while you’re using either battery or AC power. “Battery
only” means power management will only be active if you’re running the computer on battery
power.
If you enable power management, you can load default setting for all items by pressing the ‘Esc’
and then the ‘F5’ key.

CPU Doze Timeout
This is an automatic timeout. With this feature enabled, the CPU will automatically switch
speeds so lower power-demand speeds after 30ms of system inactivity. In practice, this means
the CPU is conserving power a large part of the time you are using the computer, since the
interval is short enough for the CPU to enter this mode even between keystrokes.
Sleep Timeout
This sets the interval of time after which the system will enter “Sleep” mode. The default setting
is “02 minute”. You can change the interval in one-minute increments. You can also disable this
feature.
Sleep mode shuts the CPU down to its minimum power consumption state, where it consumes
almost no power. The CPU will resume full speed operation as soon as any system activity takes
place.
Suspend Timeout
This sets the interval of time after which the system will enter Suspend mode. The default setting
is “Disabled”. You can change the interval in one-minute increments. You can also disable this
feature.
The Suspend feature has two modes, Suspend to RAM and Suspend to Disk. They are explained
in the next item. If you have activated the suspend timeout option and selected Suspend-to-RAM,
