puter system automatically. You can set Auto Power On to turn on the system either

surge protector.

For certain types of monitors and most EIDE hard-disk drives, you can reduce system
power consumption by enabling the power management feature. With Power Man-
agement enabled, these monitors and drives automatically switch into low-power
mode during periods of system inactivity.
Power Management
can be implemented at three levels—Maximum, Regular, and
Minimum
.
(The different levels apply to the monitor only; hard-disk drive operation is
the same for all three.) The default setting for this option is Disabled.
