Installed. No user-selectable settings are available for this option.

Diskette Reconfig
Diskette Reconfig allows application programs that access the diskette drive to run at their optimum speed.
Settings are At Reboot Only and Any Time.
When Diskette Reconfig is set to Any Time (the default), you do not have to reboot after you install a
diskette drive in the modular bay or attach a diskette drive to the parallel connector on the back of the
computer. However, some application programs such as virus scans that access the diskette drive will run
very slowly if the diskette drive is not in the modular bay or connected to the parallel port. When Diskette
Reconfig is set to At Reboot Only, such application programs run at normal speed, but you must reboot
after installing or attaching a diskette drive.
Display Close
Display Close lets you determine whether your computer enters suspend mode when the display is closed
or whether only the display is turned off.
Suspend (the default) — Allows the computer to enter suspend mode when the display is closed.
Active — Turns off the display, but does not put the computer into suspend mode.
NOTE: With systems running under ACPI, settings for these features are controlled from the Power
Management Properties window in the Control Panel. Under ACPI, suspend mode is referred to as
sleep mode. Activate the sleep mode by selecting Sleep from the Power Management Properties
window.
Display Time-out
Display Time-out lets you decide how long the computer operates with no input/output (I/O) activity before
turning off the display to conserve battery power.
Settings for this option in both the AC and Battery categories are:
Disabled
1 Minute
5 Minutes
10 Minutes
