Chapter 5. Power management features

Your computer is compliant to ACPI (Advance Control Power Interface) and the APM (Advance power Management) functions. It will enter a power-saving mode according to the power management option you specify.

You can set up the power management option in the BIOS (Basic Input Output system) Setup menu or in Windows 98. See “Power Management Setup” on page 6- 16 for setting power management through the BIOS.

Your computer supports the following power management features:

•Software shutdown. Your computer can be powered off using either Windows 98 or the power button on the front of the system. To avoid data loss, it is recommended that you use Windows 98 when you shut down the computer. The power indicator light is off when the computer is shut down.

•System standby. This feature allows you to put your computer into a low- power state and then resume operation from where you left off. You can put the system into standby mode using the Windows 98 Start menu or using the power button. (See “Using the power button” on page 5-3 before attempting to use the power button for standby mode.) The system also will enter the standby mode using the setting in the "Power Management" function of Windows 98.

•Monitor standby. This feature allows the monitor to save energy when you are using Windows 98 Standby. On models equipped with the Rapid Access Keyboard II, you also can press the Standby button.
