Stealth Mode Configuration

Stealth mode allows you to use the computer in an environment where sound and light could be

dangerous or disruptive. If stealth mode is disabled, the LEDs, fan, system beeps, audio, and display
brightness operate normally.

NOTE An off setting indicates stealth mode is in effect for that option. For example, if stealth mode is

enabled and the LED option is set to "off", the LEDs will NOT illuminate to indicate activity.
