The settings you are most likely to change include:
Power switch: Sets power switch functionality; when you press the power button,
the system can be set to either shut down or suspend. Press the <Spacebar> to
select On/Off or Suspend/Resume.
Lid switch: Sets lid switch functionality; when you close the LCD panel the
system can be set to either shut down or suspend. Press the <Spacebar> to select
On/Off or Suspend/Resume.
Cooling Control: Selecting Performance makes the fan come on at a lower
temperature and leaves the CPU running at full speed (the system is noisier but has
better performance). Selecting Silence keeps the fan from coming on, but as the
temperature starts to rise, the CPU speed slows down. Use the <Spacebar> to select
Performance or Silence.
Or the sub-menus:
AC Mode Power Savings or DC Mode Power Savings. Both settings allow you
to choose between Maximum Performance, Maximum Power Savings, or
Customized settings. Customized allows you to change the timeout settings
depending on whether you are using the AC adapter or battery (DC) power.
