CPU Speed
The CPU Speed Indicator shows the setting for the CPU
speed as set under the System Management dialog box.
Exit
Pressing Exit allows you to quit or halt the PowerTool
dialog.
LCD Off
Pressing LCD Off blanks (turns off) the main LCD dis-
play panel and locks the keyboard. Press this button to
reduce power consumption by turning off the main LCD
display panel during critical computations. This feature
also prevents you from inadvertently interrupting a
lengthy process by blocking unwanted keyboard input.
Press one of the buttons of your pointing device to turn
the LCD display panel back on.
NOTE:
The LCD display panel will not power up again
until user input is detected from one of the buttons of your
pointing device. Normal keyboard input and mouse move-
ment will not power up the display panel. This functionality
is designed to conserve critical computational resources
where screen display is not immediately required and prevent
interruptions to critical computations.
