primary monitor is on the left; the secondary display is on the right. You can drag any icons or windows across to either display
desktop, which makes it possible to have one program visible in one of the displays, and a different program visible in the
other display.
Extended Desktop Mode
If Intel Dual Display Clone mode is currently enabled, you must use the Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/
GME Graphics Controller Properties to switch the display.
Power Management Features
To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your notebook computer uses the ACPI power management system.
Power management conserves power by controlling individual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk
drive) or the whole system.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
The ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving techniques and gives the operating system (OS)
direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For example, it enables the OS to set devices
into low-power states based on user settings and information from applications. ACPI is fully supported in Windows 2000
and Windows XP.
OS Note
Power management functions will vary slightly depending on your operating system. For more
information it is best to refer to the user's manual of your operating system.
(Note: All pictures used on the following pages are from the Windows XP OS.)
Enabling Power Options
Power Options are enabled through the control panel in your Windows system (Power Options). With other operating
systems you may have power management available, so check your documentation.
You may conserve power through individual components or throughout the whole system.
Power Schemes
You can set your computer to conserve power through individual components by means of Power Schemes. You can also adjust
the settings for each scheme to set the monitor to turn off after a specified time, and the computer's hard disk motor to
turn off if the hard disk drive has not been accessed for a specified period of time (if the system reads or writes data, the
hard disk motor will be turned back on). The schemes may also be set to set a specified time for the system to enter Standby
or Hibernate modes.
