After the computer, hard disk drive, or monitor has entered Standby mode, any
use of the keyboard or mouse, or an incoming modem ring, brings the computer,
monitor, or hard disk drive out of the Standby mode.

How to wake up the system

You can use the power button, keyboard, or mouse to wake up the system from
standby. The power button can always be used to wake up the system. The
keyboard can be configured to wake up the system as follows:

1. Click Start, Settings, and then Control Panel.
2. Click Keyboard, then select the Hardware tab.
3. Select the HID Keyboard, then click Properties.
4. Select the Power Management tab.
5. Select "Allow device to bring the computer out of Standby".
6. Click OK.

Notes:

1. It is not recommended to use the mouse as a wake up device.

2. If you move the keyboard to a different USB port, you will need to

reconfigure this power management setting.

Using security features

To deter unauthorized use of your computer you can lock the keyboard. To restrict
access to components inside the computer, you can lock the computer cover (some
models only).

Locking the cover

Some models come with a built-in cover lock. You can use this to restrict access to
components inside the computer.

Locking the keyboard

You can set a power-on password through the Configuration/Setup Utility
program and use the security features built into the Windows operating system. If
you decide to use passwords, do not forget them.
