OWNER’S HANDBOOK 2/3
Windows 95 and Windows 98
Power Minimised states
In Windows 95/98, the P
OWER
button becomes a suspend/resume
button. In other words you can enter a Power Minimised state just
by briefly pressing the P
OWER
button.
You can also enter a Power Minimised state from the Windows
Start
menu:
In Windows 95, click the
Start
button in the Windows
taskbar, then click
Suspend
.
In Windows 98, click the
Start
button, click
Shut Down
,
select
Stand by
and then click
Yes.
In each case, you must press the P
OWER
button to resume from a
Power Minimised [
amber
] state.
Power Controlled states
You can also configure the Control Panel Display applet to suppress
or shut off power to the monitor after specified periods of inactivity.
In Windows 98 only, you can configure the Control Panel Power
applet to suppress power to the hard disk drives after a specified
period of inactivity.
Outside Windows, you can use the BIOS Setup utility to configure
the computer to enter a Power Minimised Standby mode after a
specified period of inactivity. You can also set separate Power
Controlled hard disk and video (screen blanking) inactivity
timeouts.
The computer arrives with these features turned off. In each case,
you must move the mouse or press any keyboard key to resume
from a Power Controlled state.
Note
Hard disk or display timeouts set with Windows’ Control Panel applets
overrule any hard disk and video timeouts set in BIOS Setup.
