Introduction
This section shows you how to access the System Configuration Utility
(SCU) in order to customize settings for your own personal preference.
It also covers viewing and changing IRQ settings.
Using the System Configuration Utility
The System Configuration Utility (SCU) allows you to change default
settings for your hardware options and power management. The default
settings should not be changed unless you are installing new hardware
or adding memory. Otherwise, your existing hardware may not operate
properly.
You can change the power management options based on personal
preference. For example, the computer enters suspend mode after 2
minutes if it does not detect any keyboard or mouse activity. If you want
to change this time-out setting, use SCU to make this change. Other
power management options you may want to change include:
• When the system turns off the backlight (or MaxBright)
• When the hard disk is placed in standby mode
• How power is managed for the COM ports
• Whether the computer resumes when the radio modem detects a
ring signal
• Whether or not power management is enabled
CAUTION Changing settings may cause the mobile computer to
operate incorrectly. Change default settings only if you are
instructed to do so.
Important Changing or disabling power management options can
decrease battery life. Set these options at levels that will use the
least amount of battery power.
