The power button controls power to the system. The computer receives power
from either the AC adapter connected to an electrical outlet or from up to two
batteries. The system has built-in power management features that remove
power from parts of the computer that are not being used.
Attach the AC power adapter to the computer, whenever possible, to conserve
battery power. When the AC adapter is attached, the battery is charged while
the computer uses AC power.
The Power Menu of the Setup program has power conservation features. To
open the Main Menu of the Setup program, press <F2> during the boot pro-
cess. When activated, each power conservation feature turns off or slows
down one or more functions while the computer is idle.
