Power Management - Compaq Deskpro AP500 Reference Manual

Power Management

The power management feature shuts down certain components of the
workstation when they are not in use, saving energy without having to shut
down the workstation. To enable, customize, or disable standby time-outs,
follow these steps:
1. Turn on 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 turn the workstation off, then on again, to access the utility.
3. Press the Enter key to bypass the welcome screens and display the
Compaq Utilities menu.
4. From the Compaq Utilities menu, select Computer Setup, then press the
Enter key.
5. In the Computer Setup window, click Built-in Devices.
6. In the Built-in Devices window, click Power Management.
7. Under Hard Drive and/or Monitor, select the Time-out value.
8. Save the configuration and exit the utility.
NOTE: When using a power-managed system, disable monitor time-outs in
Computer Setup first, then establish the settings in the operating system, to
avoid potential conflicts. 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 select Properties .
