Additional System Setup Options

AC Power Recovery determines what happens when AC power is
•
restored to the computer.
When Off is selected, the computer remains off when AC power is
restored. When On is selected, the computer starts up when AC power
is restored.
When Last is selected, the computer returns to the AC power state
existing at the time that AC power was lost. If the computer is on
when AC power is lost, the computer starts up when AC power is
restored. If the computer is off when AC power is lost, the computer
remains off when AC power is restored.
• Asset Tag displays the customer-programmable asset tag number for
the computer if an asset tag number is assigned. You can use the Asset
Tag utility, which is included with your software support utilities, to
enter an asset tag number up to ten characters long into nonvolatile
random-access memory (NVRAM).
• Auto Power On allows you to set the time and days of the week to turn
on the computer automatically. You can set Auto Power On to turn on
the computer either every day or every Monday through Friday.
NOTE: This feature does not work if you turn off your computer using a
power strip or surge protector.
Time is kept in a 24-hour format (hours:minutes). To change the start-
up time, press the right-arrow key to increase the number in the
highlighted field or press the left-arrow key to decrease the number. If
you prefer, you can type numbers in both the date and time fields.
The default for Auto Power On is Disabled.
• CPU ID provides the manufacturer's identification code for the
installed microprocessor.
• CPU Information
– CPU Speed indicates the processor speed at which your computer
boots.
Press the left- or right-arrow key to toggle the CPU Speed option
between the resident microprocessor's rated speed (the default)
and a lower compatibility speed, which lets you accommodate
speed-sensitive application programs. A change to this option
takes effect immediately (rebooting the computer is not required).
