How to use Rapid Start
Once the system is configured for Rapid Start, and the feature has been
enabled, the system will automatically attempt to save power by putting the
system into Rapid Start low-power mode during Windows sleep.
• The Windows hibernate option may be hidden if the system is configured
for Rapid Start.
• When the system has transitioned from Sleep to the low-power
Rapid Start state, the system will appear to be off. The power LED will not
pulse as it would in default Windows sleep.
• Waking the system from the low-power Rapid Start state can take several
seconds. During this time, the power button or power indicator will turn
on to indicate that the system is resuming, however, the screen may be
blank until Windows has resumed completely.
•
BIOS Menu options and configuration: The system BIOS setup menu
allows users to manage Rapid Start settings.
•
Location: The system BIOS setup menu can be entered by pressing
the F2 Key during system power-up, while the Dell logo is displayed.
The Dell Latitude system BIOS menu location for Rapid Start settings
is under the "Performance" sub-category. Other systems may
alternatively use the "Advanced" menu location for Rapid Start
settings.
• Settings
•
Intel Rapid Start Enable: The Rapid Start menu contains a main enable/disable
setting, which will defeat the overall feature. Disabling Rapid Start at this level
also hides the device from Windows device.
NOTE:
Because this setting hides the device from Windows, disabling Rapid
Start will also prevent the Rapid Start Manager application and driver
installation in Windows. If the Rapid Start Manager application (described
below) is installed and the feature is disabled in BIOS, it will report a warning
message alerting the user that the feature is not functioning.
•
Timer Enable: When the Rapid Start feature is enabled (above), this option can
be used to control the timer that puts the system into Rapid Start low-power mode
when the system is asleep.
