Define your power settings on the Power

tab.
Power Schemes Tab
Each standard power setting is called a scheme. If you want to select one of the standard Windows
schemes installed on your computer, choose a scheme from the
Power schemes
drop-down menu.
The settings for each scheme appear in the fields below the scheme name. Each scheme has
different settings for starting standby mode or hibernate mode, turning off the monitor, and
turning off the hard drive.
The
Power schemes
drop-down menu displays the following schemes:
Always On
(default) — If you want to use your computer with no power conservation.
Home/Office Desk
— If you use your computer as a home or office computer and you require
minimal power conservation.
Presentation
— If you want your computer to run without interruption (using no power
conservation).
Minimal Power Management
— If you want your computer to run with minimal power
conservation.
Max Battery
— If your computer is a portable computer and you run your computer from
batteries for extended periods of time.
If you want to change the default settings for a scheme, click the drop-down menu in the
Turn off

field, and then select a time-
out from the displayed list. Changing the time-out for a scheme field permanently changes the
default settings for that scheme, unless you click
Save As
and enter a new name for the changed
scheme.
NOTICE: If you set the hard drive (hard disk) to time-out before the monitor does, your computer may
appear to be locked up. To recover, press any key on the keyboard or click the mouse. To avoid this
problem, always set the monitor to time-out before the hard drive.
Advanced Tab
The
Advanced
tab allows you to:
Place the power options icon in the Windows taskbar for quick access.
Set the computer to prompt you for your Windows password before the computer exits from
standby mode or hibernate mode.
Program the power button to activate standby mode, activate hibernate mode, or turn off the
computer.
To program these functions, select an option from the corresponding drop-down menu and
click
OK
