Power Management for Windows 95

The following power management features are available for conserving AC power and extending battery operating time:

Power Management Settings

You can select power conservation settings through Power Management located on the System Features menu in Computer Setup. Computer Setup can be accessed by pressing F10 when the Compaq logo appears on the screen. These settings control the power conservation rate and the timeout values for various system components. A timeout is a specified period of system or component inactivity. After this period, the system or component (for example, the hard drive) is shut down to conserve power until it is accessed again.

There are four categories of power management settings: Maximum Power Saving, Maximum Performance, Customized, and Disabled. The default setting for each feature is listed in below table.
