Display Activity
When set to Monitor, this option enables event monitoring on the video display. If set
to Monitor and the computer is in a power saving state, AMIBIOS watches for display
activity. The computer enters the Full On state if any activity occurs. AMIBIOS
reloads the Standby and Suspend timeout timers if display activity occurs. The set-
tings are Monitor or Ignore. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Ignore.
Device 6 (Serial Port 1) Device 7 (Serial Port 2) Device 8 (Parallel Port)
Device 5 (Floppy Disk) Device 0 (Primary Master IDE)
Device 1 (Primary Slave IDE) Device 2 (Secondary Master IDE)
Device 3 (Secondary Slave IDE)
When set to Monitor, these options enable event monitoring on the specified hardware
interrupt request line. If set to Monitor and the computer is in a power saving state,
AMIBIOS watches for activity on the specified IRQ line. The computer enters the Full
On state if any activity occurs. AMIBIOS reloads the Standby and Suspend timeout
timers if activity occurs on the specified IRQ line.
The settings for each of these options are Monitor or Ignore. The Optimal and Fail-
Safe default settings are Ignore.

Green PC Monitor Power State
This option specifies the power state that the green PC- compliant video monitor
enters when AMBIOS places it in a power saving state after the specified period of
display inactivity has expired. The settings are Off, Standby, Suspend, or Disabled.
the Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.
Video Power Down Mode
This option specifies the power state that the video subsystem enters when AMIBIOS
places it in a power saving state after the specified period of display inactivity has
expired. The settings are Standby, Suspend or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe
default settings are Disabled.
Hard Disk Power Down Mode
This option specifies the power conserving state that the hard disk drive enters after
the specified period of hard drive inactivity has expired. The settings are Disabled,
Standby, or Suspend. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.
Hard Disk Timeout
This option specifies the length of a period of hard disk drive inactivity. When this
legth of time expires, the computer enters power-conserving state specified in the
Hard Disk Power Down Mode Option (see previous page). The settings are Disable, 1
min. (minute), 2 min., 3 min., 4 min., 5 min., 6 min., 7 min., 8 min., 9 min., 10 min., 11
min., 12 min., 13 min., 14 min., 15 min. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are
Disabled.
Standby/Suspend Timer Unit
This option specifies the unit of time used for the Standby and Suspend timeout peri-
ods. The settings are 4 msec., 4 sec, 32 sec, or 4 min. The Optimal and Fail-Safe
default settings are 4 min.
Standby Timeout
This option specifies the length of a period of system inactivity while in Full power on
state. When this length of time expires, the computer enters Standby power state.
THe settings are Disabled, 4 msec, 8 msec, 12 msec, 16 msec, up to 508 msec, in
increments of 4 msec. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.
Suspend Timeout
This option specifies the length of a period of system inactivity while in Standby state.
When this length of time expires, the computer enters Suspend power state. The set-
tings are Disabled, 4 msec, 8 msec, 12 msec, 16 msec, up to 508 msec, in increments
of 4 msec. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.
Slow Clock Ratio
This option specifies the speed at which the system clock runs in the Standby Mode
power saving state. The settings are expressed as a percentage between the normal
CPU clock speed and the CPU clock speed when the computer is in the power-con-
serving state. The settings are 0-12.5%, 12.5-25%, 25-37.5%, 37.5-50%, 50-62.5%,
62.5-75%, or 75-87.5%. The Optimal and Fail-Safe Default settings are 50- 62.5%.
