Operating the HP Notebook PC with a Windows 2000 Upgrade
Certain OmniBook-specific functions of your computer will work differently with the new operating system,
Windows 2000. This altered functionality is explained below. For general operating information using
Windows 2000, refer to Microsoft's Windows 2000 documentation (click Start, Help).

–or–

–or–

*Start, Shut down is recommended because it closes all applications before turning off, while the power button does
not.
Controlling Power Management
Under Windows 2000, the BIOS Setup does not manage power, as it did under previous Windows
operating systems. Windows 2000 itself manages the power. This means that–except for "Auto Suspend on
Undock" and "Auto Turn-on on Dock"– the Power settings in BIOS Setup have no effect, even though they
are still present.
