Power Button as Standby or Hibernate Button
If you are using a fully ACPI-compliant OS, (such as Windows XP) you can use the OS’s “Power Options” control panel
to set the power button to send the system into Standby or Hibernate mode.
Shutdown
Note that you should always shut your computer down by choosing the Turn Off Computer command from the Start
menu in Windows. This will help prevent hard disk or system problems.
Power Schemes
You can set your computer to conserve power through individual components by means of Power Schemes. You can
also adjust the settings for each scheme to set the monitor to turn off after a specified time, and the computer’s hard
disk motor to turn off if the hard disk drive has not been accessed for a specified period of time (if the system reads or
writes data, the hard disk motor will be turned back on). The schemes may also be set to set a specified time for the system
to enter Standby or Hibernate modes.
Resuming Operation
The system can resume from Monitor or Hard Disk Standby by pressing a key on the keyboard, the Sleep/Resume key
combination (Fn + F4), or power button.
Each Windows Power Scheme will also adjust the processor performance of your machine in order to save power. This
is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power).
Choose the Home/Office Desk scheme for maximum performance when the computer is powered from an AC power
source. Choose the Max Battery scheme (bear in mind that this scheme may slow down the overall perfor-mance of the
computer in order to save power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery (DC power) powered.
Windows will use Porta-ble/Laptop as the default scheme.
