Power Management Settings
Differing patterns of Notebook use determine the level of power management needed.
These power management levels can be initiated based on the amount of time since the
last system activity. System activity includes keyboard strokes, mouse movement, DVD/CD
playback (while under program control that monitors Standby), and modem use.
Power Schemes
You may select different settings or Power Schemes through Power Management from
the Control Panel. The default Power Schemes are Home/Office Desk, Portable/
Laptop, and Always On. The settings can be customized by changing the following
options:
•
System Standby: length of inactivity before the Notebook goes into Standby
mode
•
Turn Off Monitor: length of inactivity before the screen times out and goes blank
•
Turn Off Hard Disks: length of inactivity before the hard drive goes into low
power mode
Important: The setting for the Hard Disk must be less than or equal to the setting
for System Standby. If the Notebook is on a network, Compaq recommends that
System Standby be set to Never.
