SystemOverview 1-5 . Select Maximum Performance to conserve power but allow greatest system performance. When this setting is selected, the StandbyTime-Out option is set automatically to 4 minutes, and theSuspend Time-Out option is disabled. The Smart CPU Mode option is set automatically to Off. . Select Maximum Power Savings to conserve the greatest amount of system power. When this setting is selected, the StandbyTime-Out option is set automatically to 1 minute, and theSuspend Time-Out option is set automatically to 5 minutes. The Smart CPU Mode option is set automatically to On. 6PDUW&380RG. Smart CPU Mode allows the computer to slow down the microprocessor automatically if it is not being used. Settings for this option are: . On — Allows the computer to slow down the microprocessor when it is inactive . Off (the default) — Keeps the microprocessor running at its normal operating speed regardless of microprocessor inactivity To increase battery operating time, set the Smart CPU Mode option to On. 6WDQGE\7LPH2X. Standby Time-Out conserves battery power by turning off various devices in the system, including the display, but leaves the computer ready to resume operations immediately. Use Standby Time-Out when you leave the computer unattended for less than a few minutes. Standby Time-Out lets you determine how long the computer remains idle (no I/O activity) before activating standby mode to conserve battery power. Settings for this option are Disabled, 1 min., 2 min., 4 min., 6 min., 8 min., 12 min., and16 min. To increase battery operating time, set this option to a lower number of minutes. Press any key on the built-in keyboard to resume normal computer operation. 6XVSHQG7LPH2X. Suspend Time-Out lets you determine how long the computer remains idle (no I/O activity) before activating suspend mode. Settings for this option are Disabled, 5 min., 10 min., 15 min., 20 min., 30 min., 40 min., and 60 min. To increase battery operating time, set this option to a lower number of minutes. 1-6 'HOO,QVSLURQ6HUYLFH0DQXD. 6XVSHQG0RG. The Save-to-disk option under Suspend Mode copies all system data to a reserved area on the hard-disk drive and then turns off all power to the computer. When you resume normal operation, the same programs will be running and the same files will be open that were loaded before you activated this mode. Use Save-to-disk suspend mode to conserve battery power or to preserve system data by quickly saving it to the hard-disk drive if you are about to run out of battery power. ,QWHUUXSW$VVLJQPHQW.
