Resolving The Problem



With Power Management, the server and monitor can be set to use a reduced-power state if they are inactive for a specified length of time. You can also specify options to automatically start the server.

Attention:

The ACPI BIOS Mode feature is the only available Power Management feature.

The APM BIOS Mode feature is set to Disabled. Do not change this default value.

Using the Automatic Configuration and Power Interface BIOS Mode:
When the automatic configuration and power interface (ACPI) BIOS mode is enabled, the operating system controls the power management features of the server and the settings for APM BIOS mode are ignored. Refer to the operating-system documentation to determine if ACPI is supported.

To set ACPI BIOS mode:
1. Select Power Management from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu.
2. Set ACPI BIOS Mode to Enabled or Disabled as desired using the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key.
