Option

Description
Default Setting: both the options are disabled.

Wake on LAN/WLAN

This option allows the computer to power up from the off state when triggered by a

special LAN signal. Wake-up from the Standby state is unaffected by this setting

and must be enabled in the operating system. This feature only works when the

computer is connected to AC power supply.

Disabled - Does not allow the system to power on by special LAN signals

when it receives a wake-up signal from the LAN or wireless LAN. (Default

Setting)

LAN or WLAN - Allows the system to be powered on by special LAN

signals or WLAN signals.

LAN Only - Allows the system to be powered on by special LAN signals.

LAN with PXE Boot - A wakeup packet sent to the system in either the S4

or S5 state will cause the system to wake-up and immediately boot to PXE.

WLAN Only - Allows the system to be powered on by special WLAN

signals.

Block Sleep

Allows you to block the computer from entering into the sleep state. This option is

disabled by default.

Block Sleep (S3)

Peak Shift

Peak Shift can be used to minimize AC consumption during peak power times of

day. For each weekday listed, set a start and end time to run in Peak Shift mode.

During these times the system will run from the battery even if the AC is attached

as long as the battery stays above the threshold specified in the Battery Threshold

field. After the end time specified the system will run from AC if attached but will

not charge the battery. The system will again function normally using AC and

recharging the battery after the Charge Start time is specified. This option is

disabled by default.

Enable Peak Shift

Advanced Battery Charge

Configuration

This places all batteries in the system in Advanced Battery Charging Mode to

maximize battery health. In Advanced Charging Mode the system will use standard

charging algorithm and other techniques during non-work hours to maximize

battery health. During work hours express charge is used so that the battery will be

charged faster and therefore ready to use again sooner. For each weekday, specify

the time of day in which the system will be most heavily used. Setting the Work

Period to 0 means the system will only be lightly used that day. This option is

disabled by default.

Enable Advanced Battery Charge Mode

Primary Battery Configuration

Allows you to define how to use the battery charge, when AC is plugged in. The

options are:

Adaptive

Standard Charge

Express Charge

Primarily AC use

Custom Charge - You can set the percentage to which the battery must

charge .
