Setting the idle power saver

Save the power during the idle stage by setting the idle power delay time and the idle usage threshold.

About this task

By enabling this option, the power consumption during the idle time can be reduced by setting the idle power delay time and the idle usage threshold for enter and exit. Enabling the idle power saver function causes the system to use less power when certain thresholds are met.

To enable this option, you must have one of the following authority levels:
  • Administrator
  • Authorized service provider

To set the idle power saver, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
  2. In the navigation area, expand System Configuration > Power Management > Idle Power Saver.
  3. In the right pane, select Enabled or Disabled for the Idle power saver.
  4. In the Delay Time to Enter Idle Power field, type the number of seconds to delay before the system enters the idle power saving mode.
  5. In the Utilization Threshold to Enter Idle Power field, type the percentage of the use threshold for the system to reach before entering the idle power saving mode.
  6. In the Delay Time to Exit Idle Power field, type the number of seconds to delay before the system ends the idle power saving mode.
  7. In the Utilization Threshold to Exit Idle Power field, type the percentage of the use threshold for the system to reach before ending the idle power saving mode.
  8. Click Save settings.
    Note: Selecting a usage threshold to enter idle power that is higher than the usage threshold to exit idle power results in unexpected behavior.
