All Power Management functions can be configured from the Setup Configuration Utility (SCU), described later in this chapter. Automatic Power Management Automatic Power Management operates at two levels as described in the following paragraphs. Local Power Management Local Power Management controls computer subsystems. When a subsystem is inactive for a period of time, it is automatically shut down or slowed to reduce power consumption. The subsystem returns to an active state when it is accessed. Subsystems under Local Power Management include: Hard disk drive Diskette drive CD-ROM drive LCD display panel Global Power Management Global Power Management automatically puts the computer into Suspend mode when the computer is inactive for a period of time. The computer wakes up whenever activity resumes. The timeout settings for Suspend mode are set up in the SCU program. The computer uses Suspend-to-RAM (Standby) or Suspend-to-Disk (Hibernation) depending on the Suspend Data To setting in the SCU program. AMD PowerNow! NOTE: This power mode is available only on the Compaq Notebook 100 Personal Computer. Processor clock speed and voltage are automatically reduced based on an AMD proprietary weighted average. The “High Performance,” “Automatic,” and “Battery Save” modes can be set up and switched based on the power source to allow you to customize system performance and battery life.

By closing the top cover, if the Cover Close option is set to Suspend in the SCU program. Suspend-to-Disk (Hibernation) When the computer suspends to disk, the system preserves all the running application programs as a file in a Suspend-to-Disk partition on the hard disk. The computer then turns off automatically. When the computer is powered on, the system reads the file from the Suspend-to- Disk partition back into memory, returning the computer to the state it was in before it was suspended. If there is no Suspend-to-Disk partition on the hard disk, use the HIBERNATE utility to create the partition, in order to be able to use the Suspend-to-Disk feature. The HIBERNATE utility is available as SoftPaq SP13934. Suspend-to-RAM (Standby) When the computer suspends to RAM, several subsystems enter standby or power-off mode to conserve power. The system wakes up when any key is pressed. Resume Timer and Ring Resume options also wake the system from Suspend-to-RAM. 1.4 Setup Configuration Utility (SCU) The system comes with a Setup Configuration Utility (SCU). This utility configures BIOS settings by using menu-driven utilities. Settings are stored in the CMOS RAM. The SCU must be used when: An error message indicates that the SCU should be run. Factory default settings need to be restored (after BIOS upgrades). Specific settings must be modified.
