Power Management menu in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. This section describes the Power Management features in your server and provides instructions for using these features. Attention If a device, such as a monitor, does not have power-management capabilities, it can be damaged when exposed to a reduced-power state. Before you make energy-saving selections for your monitor, check the documentation that comes with your monitor to see if it supports Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS). Setting power-management features: With Power Management, the server and monitor (if a monitor is attached and the monitor supports DPMS) can be set to go into a reduced-power state if they are inactive for a specified length of time. Time to Low Power: With this option, you can specify the amount of time that the server must be inactive before Power Management options begin to take effect. You can select from 5 minutes to 1 hour. System Power: With this option, you can select On if you want the server to remain on, or Off if you want the server to shut down. Display: With this option, you can select one of the following reduced-power states: - Standby: In this mode, the screen is blanked, but the screen image is restored immediately when any activity is detected. - Suspend: In this mode, the monitor uses less power than in Standby mode. The screen is blanked, but the screen image is restored within a few seconds after any activity is detected. - Off: In this mode, the monitor power is turned off. To restore power to the monitor, you must press the monitor power switch. On some monitors, you might have to press the power switch twice. If you select Off, you must specify the Time to Display 'off'. You can select 5 minutes to 1 hour. Note Time to display off is the amount of time after the reduced-power state before the display enters the off state. - Disable: In this mode, the monitor is unaffected by the power management settings.
