Power Page
Because your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
management Interface), a powerful feature of the Windows Me operating system,
the power management for your system is controlled by the Windows OS and the
items on this page have no function. See Chapter 3 for information on using the
Windows Power Option Properties program.
If you install your computer with an alternative operating system that does not have
ACPI, you can use the items on this page to manage power on your system.
CPU Speed Mode Lets you adjust processor core speed. Auto means CPU speed is
high when connected to AC power, and low when using the battery. High means
CPU speed is always high, and Low means the speed is always low.
Power Management Control Lets you enable or disable all the power
management, or have it operate only when you are using the battery.
Power Saving Mode Lets you set Battery Life (short timeouts for aggressive power
management), Performance (long timeouts for relaxed power management), or
Customized (lets you define your own timeout settings using the three items below).
Video power down after Sets the timeout for the built-in display to powerdown if
you have chosen Customized in Power Savings Mode.
HD power down after Sets the timeout for a hard disk drive powerdown if you
have chosen Customized in Power Savings Mode.
Auto Suspend Timeout Sets the timeout for suspend mode if you have chosen
Customized in Power Savings Mode.
Suspend Mode Lets you set how your system will suspend when a suspend mode is
initiated. Your computer can either suspend to RAM or suspend to disk.
Battery Low Suspend Enables the system to automatically enter suspend mode
when battery charge is critically low if set to Enabled.
