3.7 SETUP 5—POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP
The Little Board/P5i CPU BIOS incorporates an Advanced Power Management BIOS (APM) compliant
with Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS Interface Specification Revision 1.1, created by Intel
and Microsoft. SETUP 5—Power Management SETUP allows you to configure your system to most
effectively save energy while operating at the speed and response level you want. Figure 3–5 shows what
can be configured on SETUP 5. A description of each option is listed below.
Note
When features of the APM BIOS are enabled, some reduced power
states are entered automatically. Reduced power states alter the
performance of the system, usually slowing or halting the CPU. Use
the power management functions with care when using the Little
Board in applications which require guaranteed maximum
response times.
