Power Management With the Power Management category 
enabled, DPMS monitors and most EIDE 
drives automatically switch into low-power 
mode during periods of system inactivity.
CAUTION: Before enabling this feature,
check the monitor documentation to make
sure the system has a DPMS-compliant
monitor. Otherwise, there is a risk of dam-
aging the monitor.
NOTE: Not all EIDE hard-disk drives support 
this feature. Enabling this feature for drives 
that do not support it may cause the EIDE 
drive to become inoperable until the system is 
restarted and the Power Management category 
is disabled.
