Desktop Management 3.3.11 Dual-State Power Button With Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled, the power button can function either as an on/off switch or as a suspend button. The suspend feature does not completely turn off power, but instead causes the computer to enter a low-power standby. This allows you to power down quickly without closing applications and to return quickly to the same operational state without any data loss. To change the power button's configuration, complete the following steps: 1. Left click on the Start Button, then select Control Panel > Power Options. 2. In the Power Options Properties, select the Advanced tab. 3. In the Power Button section, select Stand by. After configuring the power button to function as a suspend button, press the power button to put the system in a very low power state (standby). Press the button again to bring the system out of suspend to full power status quickly. To completely turn off all power to the system, press and hold the power button for four seconds. Ä CAUTION: Do not use the power button to turn off the computer unless the system is not responding; turning off the power without operating system interaction could cause damage to or loss of data on the hard drive. 3.3.12 World Wide Web Site When making the transition to new or revised operating systems, it is important to implement the support software designed for that operating system. If you plan to run a version of Microsoft Windows that is different from the version included with the computer, you must install corresponding device drivers and utilities to ensure that all features are supported and functioning properly. HP has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating, and installing the latest support software easier. You can download the software from http://www.hp.com/support. The Web site contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable ROM images needed to run the latest Microsoft Windows operating system on the HP computer. 3.3.13 Building Blocks and Partners HP management solutions integrate with other systems management applications, and are based on industry standards, such as: ■ Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) ■ Windows Management Interface (WMI) ■ Wake on LAN Technology ■ ACPI ■ SMBIOS ■ Pre-boot Execution (PXE) support 3-12 361288-003 Service Reference Guide, dc7100
