Software Updating and Management

3.1.1 Dual-State Power Button

With Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled for Windows XP, 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 quickly power down without closing applications and to quickly return 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 > Performance and

Maintenance > Power Options.

2. In the

Power Options Properties,

select the

Advanced

tab.

3. In the

Power Button

section, select the desired power button setting.

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 (suspend). Press the button again to quickly bring the system

out of suspend to full power status. 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.

3.1.2 Power Management

Power Management is a feature that saves energy by shutting down certain components of the

computer when they are not in use, saving energy without having to shut down the computer.

With Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled for Windows XP, timeouts

(the period of inactivity allowed before shutting down these components) can be enabled,

customized, or disabled using the operating system.

1. In Windows XP, left click on the

Start Button,

then select

Control Panel > Performance

and Maintenance > Power Options.

2. In the

Power Options Properties,

select the

Power Schemes

tab.

3. Select the desired power scheme settings.

Use Display Properties to establish, modify, or disable Power Management settings for the

monitor. To access Display Properties, right click on the

Windows Desktop,

then choose

Properties.
