Computer Setup Power Management

The default Computer Setup power management setting provides a balance between performance and battery life. If you want to select a different setting, run Computer Setup, select the Power menu, then select Power Management.

The following power conservation levels are available while on battery (default) or while on AC or battery:

High Conservation Level—Provides the maximum power conservation and the most battery life from a single charge.

Medium Conservation Level (default)—Provides a balance between performance and battery life. Suspend is initiated after ten minutes of inactivity and Hibernation after one hour of inactivity.

Custom—Allows you to specify the timeout settings for Suspend, Hibernation, hard drives, and screen.
