Chapter 3: Managing Power Consumption 49
The following table shows how to change the system modes in Windows 95
and Windows NT.
Modifying the power button mode
You can change the power button mode in the BIOS setup program from
On/Off to Standby/Resume. See “Using the Power Menu” on Page 50 for
more information about accessing the BIOS Power menu settings to change
the power button mode.
Using the BIOS Setup Utility
The computer’s BIOS has a built-in program that lets you set many basic
system characteristics. These settings are stored and saved even when the
power is off. This section contains information about this setup utility and is
intended to serve as a guide so that you can make changes to your system
BIOS when necessary.
The screen example that you see in this chapter is similar to what you see on
your LCD. However, you may have a system with a newer BIOS version
than the one described in this manual. If there are differences, follow the
Item Specific Help box in the right-hand column of the BIOS Setup menu.
