Power Management Features
Compaq Presario 5700 Series Personal
Computers use ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for system power
management. ACPI is an open industry specification that provides reliable power management
through improved hardware and operating system coordination.
The following is a list of the power
management features:
- Power Status Lights. You can
quickly tell the sleep condition of the system by glancing at the Power Status Lights on
the unit or keyboard.
- Automatic Sleep. In Windows 98,
there are different Power Schemes under which the system goes into Sleep mode
automatically when it times out. The optional settings for Windows 98 are Home/Office
Desk, Portable/Laptop and Always On. The system
supports different levels of power management for varying patterns of computer usage.
- Default and Adjustable timeout settings.
The default setting for Sleep timeout is 30 minutes. The Sleep timeout value can be set in
the Control Panel by clicking the Power Management icon.
At the Properties screen, click System Standby, Turn
off Monitor, and Turn off Hard Disk to set the length of time
before the system goes to sleep.
- Manual Sleep. To manually put your
computer into sleep mode in the Windows 98 desktop, press the Sleep
button (on the keyboard). The power status light on the CPU will light to show that Sleep
mode is activated.
- Other manual standby options.
Another way to put your computer into sleep mode manually under Windows 98 is to select Start,
then Shutdown. Select Standby from the list of choices to put the
system into Sleep mode. The system can then be turned off or left in Sleep. When the Sleep
button is pressed, the system returns to the previous Windows 98 Desktop state.
- Wake up events. Events that bring
a system back to the working state include:
- Pressing the Sleep button on the keyboard
- Pressing the CPU Power button
- Fax/Modem answers a call
- Synchronized software and hardware volume
control buttons.
