Power

Setting or Changing a Power Scheme

The Power Schemes tab in the Power Options window allows
you to set the amount of time that the notebook will allow to pass
before entering standby or hibernation. You can assign different
schemes depending on whether the notebook is running on a
battery pack or external power.
You can also set a power scheme that initiates standby or turns off
the display or hard drive after a time interval that you specify.
To set a power scheme:
1. Access the Power Options window, and then select the
Power Schemes tab.
2. Select the power scheme you want to modify, and accept or
adjust the default options in the lists on the screen.
3. Select Apply.

Using a Security Password

You can add a security feature that prompts you for a password
when the notebook is turned on, resumes from standby, or
restores from hibernation.
To set a password prompt:
1. Access the Power Options window, and then select the
Advanced tab.
2. Select the check box for Prompt for password when the
computer resumes from standby, and then select Apply.

Chapter 12, "Security."
