As you read about the power procedure settings, the following
information may be helpful.
Using Fn+F3 as the Windows Sleep Button
The
Fn+F3
hotkeys on the notebook are equivalent to the
“sleep button” referred to in Windows. For example, if you set
the Sleep Button field on the Power Options Advanced tab to
Hibernate, pressing the
Fn+F3
hotkeys will initiate Hibernation.
Using a Standby Password
If you select the Prompt For Password When the Computer Goes
Off Standby setting, respond to the Standby prompt with a
Windows password, not a Compaq password.
For more information about using both Windows and Compaq
passwords, see “Combining Compaq and Windows Passwords”
in Chapter 3, “Security.”
