Power Management Settings
Different patterns of Notebook use determine the level of power management required. These power management levels can be initiated based on the amount of time passed since the last system activity. System activity includes keyboard strokes, mouse movement, DVD/CD playback (while under program control that monitors Standby), and modem use.
Power Schemes
You may access and select different settings or Power Schemes through Power Management on the Control Panel. The default Power Schemes are Home/Office Desk, Portable/Laptop, and Always On. The settings can be customized by changing the following options:
•System Standby: length of inactivity before the Notebook goes into Standby mode
•Turn Off Monitor: length of inactivity before the screen times out and goes blank
•Turn Off Hard Disks: length of inactivity before the hard drive goes into low power mode
Important: The setting for the Hard Disk must be less than or equal to the setting for the system. If the Notebook is on a network, Compaq recommends that System Standby be set to Never.
The following table shows the default settings for each Power Scheme.
