Dual-State Power Button - Compaq Professional Workstation AP200 Reference Manual

3-24 Intelligent Manageability

Dual-State Power Button

On a power-managed system, the power button can function either as an on/off
switch or as a suspend button. The suspend feature does not turn off power
altogether, but instead causes the workstation to enter a low-power standby.
This allows you to quickly power down without closing applications, and to
quickly return to the same operational state without any data loss.
IMPORTANT: The power button suspend feature is not functional in NT 4.0.
Under NT, the power switch will act as a normal on/off button even if listed
as "Suspend" in the F10 Setup . If you attempt to put an NT system into
suspend mode, you could potentially lose valuable data.
To change the power button's configuration:
1. Turn on or restart the workstation.
2. When you see the words "F10=Setup" in the bottom-right corner of the
screen, press the F10 key.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed, you
must manually turn off the workstation, then on again to access the utility.
3. From the main menu, select Power, then select Energy Saver Options.
IMPORTANT: The Energy Saver Options selection is available only if the
energy saver mode is enabled (set to Minimal or Advanced).
4. Press the left/right arrow keys to set the Power Button configuration to
either Normal (On/Off) or Suspend/Wakeup.
5. Save the configuration and exit the utility.
