Power Management in NT 4?

[bman]

Does anybody know if power management is available in NT 4 for the AOpen AX59pro? Such as spin down HD, power off monitor..etc.
Thanks

From what I understand, Power Management isn't supported in NT4.

I'm not absolutely certain if this changed in SP4 or SP5. I don't think it has. Scsi drives have utilities that power them down. Its usually included with the Scsi card. Most monitors have their own power saving features accessible thru their on screen controls.

A note about drives though. Spoke to a Seagate tech awhile back and they recommend not powering down the drives with NT because the OS is constantly (much more frequently than Win95/98) accessing the drive anyhow.

Check your bios for power management settings. you may be able to time control shutdowns for certain components through hardware, instead of software, APM.

Thanks, good idea.
