System Setup Options: Dell™ Latitude™ CS/CSx Portable Computers User's Guide

 AC

AC, an option under Power Management, allows you to set different time-outs for the following options when you operate your computer from AC
power: Display Time-out, Disk Time-out, Suspend Time-out, S2D Time-out, Smart CPU Mode, and Brightness.

A change to the AC option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required).

 Admin Password

Admin Password displays the current status of your administrator password and allows you to assign or change this password. Settings for this
option are:

l

Disabled (the default)

— Indicates that no administrator password is assigned

l

Enabled

— Indicates that an administrator password is currently assigned

The administrator password is designed for use by system administrators and service technicians in corporate environments. If an administrator
password is assigned, you can use it to access the computer even if you do not know the primary password.

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.

 Alarm Resume

Alarm Resume directs the computer to resume normal operation when it is in suspend mode and detects an alarm from the real-time clock
(RTC). Such alarms can be set through various application programs. For the alarms in these programs to work, Alarm Resume must be set to
Enabled.
