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. Timeouts (the
period of inactivity allowed before shutting down these components)
can be enabled, customized, or disabled using Computer Setup.
1. Access the Computer Setup menu.
2. Select Power > Energy Saver. Select Advanced to turn on the
Timeouts menu.
3. Select Power > Timeouts. Enable, customize, or disable timeouts.
Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide for more
detailed information about the features of Computer Setup.
4. Select File > Save Changes and Exit.
To avoid conflicts, never enable monitor timeouts in Windows 98
while system timeouts are enabled in Computer Setup.
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.
