Chapter 5 - Using SETUP

System Idle After

System Idle is the first level of power management. When

System Idle is enabled, the system slows down only the CPU

after the allotted time has passed. Slowing down only the CPU

saves battery power, but allows for quick “wakeups” when you

press a key or move the mouse cursor. You can set this option

anywhere between 1 and 16 seconds.

Note: If you set this option at less than 8 seconds, applications that take a long time to

load (like Windows) may not run properly.

System Standby After

System Standby is the second level of power conservation.

When System Standby is enabled, the system turns off the LCD

backlight and the CPU after the allotted time has passed. The

Meridian immediately wakes up the next time any key is hit or

mouse movement is detected.

The System Standby state timeout interval can be disabled or

set to preset values between 1 minute and 16 minutes.

System Suspend After

System Suspend After is the third level of power conservation,

providing the maximum power conservation. When System

Suspend is enabled, the system turns off the LCD backlight as

well as the diskette and hard disk drives and also turns off the

CPU after the allotted time has passed. Data currently in RAM

is safe until normal operation is resumed.

The suspend state timeout interval can be disabled or set to

preset values between 5 minutes and 60 minutes.

Note: External devices such as a PS/2 mouse, keyboard, and modem (when turned on),

still receive power during the Suspend state. These peripherals will further

drain the battery, shortening the suspend duration time.
