With Advanced Power Management (APM) enabled in Windows 98 or
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled for Windows
98 and Windows 2000, the power button can function either as an on/off
switch or as a suspend button. The suspend feature does not turn off power
altogether, but instead causes the Personal Computer to enter a low-power
standby. This allows you to quickly power down without closing applications
and to quickly return to the same operational state without any data loss.
To change the power button's configuration, complete the following steps:
1. Access the Computer Setup menu.
2. Select Power > Energy Saver. Select Minimal or Advanced to turn on the
Energy Saver Options menu.
3. Select Power > Energy Saver Options. Set the power button configuration
to either On/Off or Suspend/Wakeup, as desired.
Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more detailed information about
the features of Computer Setup.
4. Select File > Save Changes and Exit.
After configuring the power button to function as a suspend button, press the
power button to put the system in a very low power state (suspend). Press the
button again to quickly bring the system out of suspend to full power status.
To completely turn off all power to the system, press and hold the power
button for four seconds.
If you have selected the "Blink LED during Energy Save" option in Computer Setup, the power-on
light will blink green once every two seconds while the Personal Computer is in suspend. Refer to
the Troubleshooting Guide for more information on using Computer Setup.
