BIOS Setup 3-15
Power Savings Menu Options
Options for the Power Savings menu are described in Table 3-9. Default settings for most options in this
menu differ depending on the setting selected for the Power Savings BIOS option. (Refer to Chapter 7 of
this manual for more information on power management.)
Windows 95 users: Note that activity generated by disk drive low power mode settings in Windows 95
Power Properties may be detected by the BIOS as system activity and prevent the Suspend Timeout
option from working properly. To ensure proper operation, disable low power mode options in Power
Properties. To do so, open Power in Control Panel, select the Disk Drives tab in the Power Properties
window, and ensure that all disk drive low power mode options are disabled (unchecked).
Windows 98 users: Windows 98 can be configured to use ACPI. (ACPI is not enabled as a factory setting.)
Systems with ACPI enabled will not use power management settings configured in BIOS Setup. To
configure power management settings in Windows 98, open Power Management in Control Panel and
select the desired settings in the Power Management Properties window.
Caution
Power savings options should be set to the most conservative
values possible for your application. Doing so extends battery
life and lowers internal temperatures of the pen tablet.
