3.4.6 Power Management
Power Management is a feature that saves energy by shutting down certain components of the
computer when they are not in use, saving energy without having to shut down the computer.
With Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled for Windows 2000 and
Windows XP, timeouts (the period of inactivity allowed before shutting down these components)
can be enabled, customized, or disabled using the operating system.
1. In Windows 2000, left click on the Start Button, then select Settings > Control Panel >
Power Options.
In Windows XP, left click on the Start Button, then select Control Panel > Power
Options.
2. In the Power Options Properties, select the Power Schemes tab.
3. Select the desired power scheme settings.
Use Display Properties to establish, modify, or disable Power Management settings for the
monitor. To access Display Properties, right click on the Windows Desktop, then choose
Properties.
3.4.7 World Wide Web Site
When making the transition to new or revised operating systems, it is important to implement the
support software designed for that operating system. If you plan to run a version of Microsoft
Windows that is different from the version included with your computer, you must install
corresponding device drivers and utilities to ensure that all features are supported and
functioning properly.
HP has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating, and installing the latest support software
easier. You can download the software from
the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable ROM images needed to run the latest Microsoft
Windows operating system on your HP computer.
