Power setting
slider (Advanced
manual mode)
In Advanced Manual Power Management Mode, the
slider bar is available and allows you to manually change
conservation levels. One end of the slider bar is
associated with high power conservation and the other
end of the slider scale is associated with high
performance/speed.
Move the slider bar to the left towards the green Power
Saver (left) side to conserve power (reduces speed).
Move the slider bar to the right towards the red High
Performance (right) side to increase performance and
speed (and power consumption).
When you select a power setting via the slider bar and
apply it, S3 Graphics software will remember and restore
the specified power setting during normal operation and
at re-boot and resume. This setting is applied regardless
of your current power source (AC or battery).
