Lenovo encourages you to make efficient use of energy an integral part of your day-to-day operations. To
help in this endeavor, Lenovo has preset the following power-management features to take effect when the
computer has been inactive for a specified length of time:
Power plan: Energy Saver (settings when plugged into ac power)
• Turn off the display: After 10 minutes
• Put the computer into sleep: After 20 minutes
• Advanced power settings:
– Turn off hard disks: After 15 minutes
– Hibernate: Never
To awaken the computer from sleep mode, press the Fn key on your keyboard. For more information about
these settings, see the Windows Help and Support information on the computer.
The Wake on LAN function is enabled when your Lenovo computer is shipped from the factory, and the
setting remains valid even when the computer is in sleep mode. If you do not need to have Wake on LAN
enabled while the computer is in sleep mode, you can reduce the power consumption and prolong the time
in sleep mode, by disabling the setting of Wake on LAN for sleep mode.
To disable the setting of Wake on LAN for sleep mode, do the following:
1. Open Control Panel and click Hardware and Sound ➙ Device Manager .
2. In the Device Manager window, expand Network adapters .
