Cover Closed
If you close the display/cover with computer power still turned on, you can select how the
computer reacts. If you select the Backlight Off setting, the LCD turns off. The Auto
Standby setting causes the computer to beep about 10 seconds (if Cover Alarm is set to
On) and then go into the Standby mode, which turns off the display and hard disk drive.
If you select the Disable setting, the computer does not react; it remains on.
