Setting Up and Using Your Computer
33
To immediately activate standby mode without a period of inactivity, click the Start button, click Turn
Off Computer , and then click Stand by .
To exit from standby mode, press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse.
Hibernate Mode
Hibernate mode conserves power by copying system data to a reserved area on the hard drive, and then
completely turning off the computer. When the computer exits from hibernate mode, the desktop is
restored to the state it was in
prior to entering hibernate mode.
To activate hibernate mode:
1
Click the Start button, then click Control Panel .
2
Define your hibernate settings on the Power Schemes tab, Advanced tab, and Hibernate tab.
To exit from hibernate mode , press the power button. The computer may take a short time to exit from
hibernate mode. Because the keyboard and the mouse do not function when the computer is in
hibernate mode, pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse does not bring the computer out of
hibernation.
Because hibernate mode requires a special file on your hard drive with enough disk space to store the
contents of the computer memory, Dell creates an appropriately sized hibernate mode file before
shipping the computer to you. If the computer’s hard drive becomes corrupted, Windows XP recreates
the hibernate file automatically.
Power Options Properties
Define your standby mode settings, hibernate mode settings, and other power settings in the Power
Options Properties window. To access the Power Options Properties window:
1
Click the Start button, then click Control Panel .
2
Define your power settings on the Power Schemes tab, Advanced tab, and Hibernate tab.
Power Schemes Tab
Each standard power setting is called a scheme. If you want to select one of the standard Windows
schemes installed on your computer, choose a scheme from the
Power schemes drop-down menu. The
settings for each scheme appear in the fields below the scheme name. Each scheme has different settings
for starting standby mode, hibernate mode, turning off the monitor, and turning off the hard drive.
NOTICE:
If you set the hard drive to time-out before the monitor does, your computer may appear to be locked up.
To recover, press any key on the keyboard or click the mouse. To avoid this problem, always set the monitor to time-
out before the hard drive.
The Power schemes drop-down menu displays the following schemes:
• Always On (default) — If you want to use your computer with no power conservation.
• Home/Office Desk — If you use your computer as a home or office computer and you require minimal
power conservation.
