Setup and Operation 2-25
One drive option you may have to change is Boot Docking Station IDE. When set to Yes, it
will boot the operating system from the optional Docking Station 6000 hard drive. Other-
wise, the system will boot from either the internal IDE hard drive or the CD-ROM reader, if
installed in the VersaBay II.
Peripherals
The Peripherals screen displays the location of the connection between the system and the
Input/Output (I/O) ports.
Power Savings
The Power Savings screen lets you select the level of power management, suspend mode,
and suspend/resume options.
NOTE:
Some operating systems such as Win-
dows for Workgroups and Windows 95 have
their own power management software which
overrides CMOS settings. In this case, be sure to
set your desired power management settings ac-
cordingly.
■
Power Management Under AC
Normally, whenever AC power is con-
nected to the NEC Versa 6000, power management is disabled. If you enable this
option, the system uses the power management mode (on or off) you set using the
Power Management option.
■
Power Savings
A "Highest Performance" setting provides the greatest sys-
tem performance. "Longest Battery Life" provides maximum power saving, and
"Off" disables all power management timers. You can also customize the system's
power management by selecting "Custom Settings" and entering values for system
timeouts.
■
Suspend Mode
Suspend mode has a method of operation called Sus-
pend/Resume that stores information in RAM and maintains RAM contents after
shutting down all local devices. You also have the option to select Save to File.
This saves all your open data files to a special file on the hard disk whenever the
system goes into Suspend mode. All your data is automatically recovered from
where you left off when you Resume.
■
Suspend Warning Tone
This option lets you enable or disable a warning
tone when Suspend mode starts. It is best to keep this option enabled.
■
PCMCIA Power
This option allows you to turn off power to the PCMCIA
slots in order to save system power. The slot's power cannot be turned off if a
card is installed in the slot.
