[Ham-Computers] Computer - Power Management Query

Wed, 1 Jan 2003 19:48:01 -0600

I also noticed this on my ASUS board with the exception of the IR mouse as I
did not have one of those.

I did read about the mobo LED always being on in the manual that came with
the mobo.

And as long as the PC was on, my LAN hub light was always ON as well.

I gave this system to my son is the reason I am speaking in past tense.

I do believe these can be changed in the BIOS under the Power Management
settings.

Subject: [Ham-Computers] Computer - Power Management Query

Does anyone know a web address or can explain modern power management
methods. eg

Just upgraded to a Pentium IV ASUS S370 motherboard and notice the following
when the computer is connected to the mains power socket :

1.  LED on Motherboard continuously ON.
2.  IR Mouse light always ON.
3.  LAN connection always shows ON on the LAN Hub.

I presume this is modern accepted "Low Power" Consumption convention because
no reference in Manual - is the above a MODE and can it be changed in the
BIAS -
it confuses me.

One should therefore always disconnect computer from the power before making
any hardware changes.

Dont want to consume too much bandwidth with this slightly off topic subject
but if
anyone can point me in the right direction would appreciate it.

Regards

Eddie
