Desktop Management
3.3.12 Power Management
Power Management is a feature that saves energy by shutting down certain components of the
computer when they are not in use, saving energy without having to shut down the computer.
Timeouts (the period of inactivity allowed before shutting down these components) can be
enabled, customized, or disabled using Computer Setup.
1. Access the Computer Setup menu.
2. Select Power > Energy Saver. Select Advanced to turn on the Timeouts menu.
3. Select Power > Timeouts. Enable, customize, or disable timeouts.
4. Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide for more detailed information about the
features of Computer Setup.
5. Select File > Save Changes and Exit.
✎
To avoid conflicts, never enable monitor timeouts in Windows 98 while system timeouts are
enabled in Computer Setup.
Use Display Properties to establish, modify, or disable Power Management settings for the
monitor. To access Display Properties, right-click on the Windows Desktop, then choose
Properties.
3.3.13 World Wide Web Site
When making the transition to new or revised operating systems, it is important to implement the
support software designed for that operating system. If you plan to run a version of Microsoft
Windows or Microsoft Windows NT Workstation that is different from the version included with
your computer, you must install corresponding device drivers and utilities to ensure that all
features are supported and functioning properly.
HP has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating, and installing the latest support software
easier. You can download the software from the HP web site at www.hp.com.
The Web site contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable ROM images needed to
run the latest Microsoft Windows operating system on your HP workstation.
3.3.14 Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) is an industry body with the goal of standardizing
systems manageability. DMTF established the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) framework
to standardize access to PC configuration data. HP delivers hardware and software
instrumentation that supports the DMI standard.
For more information on configuring the DMI software, refer to the online Intelligent
Manageability Guide.
