Using Bios Setup - HP OmniBook 2100 Supplementary Manual

Some of the default power settings under Windows 2000 are not the same as they were in the BIOS Setup
for the Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT operating systems. The following table shows you
HP's recommended power options under Windows 2000.
You can change the power settings under Control Panel, Power Options. HP recommends changing the
setting for the blue power button from Power Off to Standby.

Power Schemes
Alarms
Advanced
Hibernate
For proper Hibernate operation at the critical battery threshold (low-battery condition), you must enable
Hibernate support in Power Options. Otherwise, unsaved data will be lost if the battery runs down
completely.

Using BIOS Setup

The Power menu settings in the BIOS Setup are not applicable under the new ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface) BIOS. All other settings operate normally. (You should have installed
the new ACPI BIOS before installing Windows 2000. For the latest BIOS, look for Windows 2000
Software and Drivers for your HP Notebook PC model at www.hp.com/omnibook/support/.)
Using the Fn Keys
These HP Notebook PC Fn keys do not work under Windows 2000:
•
Fn+S (HP Standby mode).
•
Fn+R (HP Suspend mode).
Note that Fn+12 (HP Hibernate mode) works if you installed the HPCI applet (discussed below, under
"Docking and Other Enhanced HP Functionality").
