Service manual
Using the System Setup Program: Dell Latitude CP
If you are not in the System Setup program, you can turn off the hard-disk drive immediately by
pressing <Fn><h>. The drive resumes normal operation automatically when it is accessed by
the microprocessor.
Diskette Drive A
Diskette Drive A identifies the location of the 3.5-inch diskette drive: Modular Bay, Parallel
Port, or Not Installed. There are no user-selectable settings for the Diskette Drive A option.
Diskette Drive B
Diskette Drive A identifies the location of a second 3.5-inch diskette drive: Parallel Port,
Modular Bay, or Not Installed. There are no user-selectable settings for the Diskette Drive B
option.
Diskette Reconfig
Diskette Reconfig allows application programs that access the diskette drive to run at their
optimum speed. Settings are At Reboot Only and Any Time.
When Diskette Reconfig is set to Any Time (the default), you do not have to reboot after
installing a diskette drive in the modular bay or attaching a diskette drive to the parallel
connector on the back of the computer. However, some application programs - such as virus
scans - that access the diskette drive will run very slowly if the diskette drive is not in the
modular bay or connected to the parallel port. When Diskette Reconfig is set to At Reboot
Only, such application programs run at normal speed, but you must reboot after installing or
attaching a diskette drive.
Display Close
Display Close lets you determine whether your computer enters suspend mode when the
display is closed, or whether only the display is turned off.
● Suspend (the default) - Allows the computer to enter suspend mode when the display is
closed.
● Active - Turns off the display, but does not put the computer into suspend mode.
Display Time-Out
Display Time-Out lets you decide how long the computer operates with no input/output (I/O)
activity before turning off the display to conserve battery power.
