Power Management

These power management features are provided to reduce the average amount of electricity consumed by your computer. Some features will have been enabled in our factory to ensure compliance with the Energy Star programme. For more information about Energy Star, see the Windows Help file pre-installed on your hard disk.

Hard Disk Standby

If this option is “Enabled”, the hard disk drive will stop spinning or spin down after about 20 minutes of inactivity.

Standby Time-out

If this option is not “Disabled”, the computer will go into a low- power standby mode after the specified period of inactivity. The processor slows down and, provided that the Monitor Power Management option is also “Enabled”, the monitor display goes blank. The operating system and your programs continue to run, although slowly. You can wake the computer again by pressing any keyboard key.

Monitor Power Management

This option is intended to be used only with monitors that support Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS). If “Enabled”, the monitor will go blank when the computer enters standby mode (see above).

Another way of saving monitor power is by using the built-in power-saving features of Windows 95, or the Cirrus Logic Display
