Setting Up and Using Your Computer
If you want to change the default settings for a scheme, click the drop-down menu in the Turn off monitor ,
Turn off hard disks , System stand by , or System hibernates field, and then select a time-out from the
displayed list. Changing the time-out for a scheme field permanently changes the default settings for
that scheme, unless you click
Save As and enter a new name for the changed scheme.
NOTICE:
If you set the hard drive (hard disk) 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.

• Place the power options icon in the Windows taskbar for quick access.
• Set the computer to prompt you for your Windows password before the computer exits from standby
mode or hibernate mode.
• Program the power button to activate standby mode, activate hibernate mode, or turn off the computer.
To program these functions, click an option from the corresponding drop-down menu and click OK .

Enabling Cool ’n’ Quiet™ Technology
Cool ’n’ Quiet technology controls your computer’s processor performance automatically, dynamically
adjusting the operating frequency and voltage, according to the task at hand. When an application does
not require full performance, significant amounts of power can be saved. Performance is designed to still
be responsive, with maximum processor performance being delivered when required, and automatic
power savings when possible.

Run the system setup program and enable Cool ’n’ Quiet technology using the Power Management
options (see "System Setup" on page 111).
