Dell Latitude CPx J - Manual (Page 139)

NOTE: With systems running under ACPI, power management settings are controlled from the Power
Management Properties window in the Control Panel.
A change to the Power Management option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required).
Primary Hard Drive
Primary Hard Drive displays the capacity of your computer's hard-disk drive. No user-selectable settings
are available for this option.
Primary Password
Primary Password displays the current status of the primary password and allows you to assign or change
this password.
Settings for this option are:
Disabled (the default) — Indicates that no primary password is assigned
Enabled — Indicates that a primary password is currently assigned
If you assign a primary password, the computer prompts you for the password each time you boot the
computer.
NOTICE: The password features provide a high level of security for the data in your computer.
However, they are not foolproof. If your data requires more security, you should obtain and use
additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs or PC Cards with encryption
features.
Ring/Event Resume
Ring/Event Resume lets you determine if the computer exits suspend mode when an installed modem card
receives an incoming call. This feature is supported if the optional internal modem is installed; to use this
feature with a modem PC card, it must be supported by the PC Card and by your operating system.
NOTE: With systems running under ACPI, power management settings are controlled from the Power
Management Properties window in the Control Panel. Certain features require configuration
through the Power Management Properties window and others may not function with ACPI.
Settings for this option are:
Enabled (the default) — Resumes normal operation when the computer detects a modem ring
Disabled — Keeps the computer in suspend mode when the computer detects a modem ring
NOTES: Dell recommends that you set Ring/Event Resume to Disabled when an external serial
device, other than a modem, is connected to your computer.
