Configuring the OmniBook Using BIOS Setup Power Menu If you're using Windows 98 in its standard power mode, power options you set in Power Management Control Panel override corresponding settings in the Power menu. If you're using Windows 2000, only the settings marked with * are used, and other settings in the Power menu are ignored. Setting Description Default Intel SpeedStep Technology* For a dual-speed processor, sets the speed used by the processor at boot, depending on the power source at boot. A separate Control Panel power setting controls speed changes after boot. Auto Power Management Mode Smart CPU Mode Standby Time-out Disables time-outs, selects a combination of time-outs, or allows customized time-outs. Enables automatic CPU power savings when running on battery power. Absence of keyboard, mouse, and hard disk activity could cause slower CPU response. For a model without "4150 B" after the serial number, this should normally be Off to avoid interfering with time sensitive operations-and this setting applies to both battery and ac power.

Max Power Savings On ("4150 B") Off (non "4150 B") 2 minutes Suspend Time-out Sets the period of inactivity after which the computer goes from Standby to Suspend power mode. (Skips Standby mode if that time-out is disabled.) 4 minutes Hibernate Time-out Hard Disk Time-out Time-out on AC Sets whether the computer goes from Suspend to Hibernate power mode after the indicated period of inactivity. (Skips Suspend mode if that time-out is disabled.) Sets the period of hard disk inactivity after which the hard disk stops spinning. Also affects a hard disk drive in the plug-in module bay. Sets whether power management time-outs occur while the ac adapter is connected. 4 hours 2 minutes Disabled Power Button Mode Sets the action of the blue power button when pressed for less than 4 seconds.
