BIOS Setup 21
Power Menu Options 3
Options for the Power menu are described in Table 3-14. Default settings for most options in this menu
differ depending on the setting selected for the Power Savings BIOS option. (Refer to Chapter 7 of this
manual for more information on power management.)
Windows 98 and Windows 2000 users: Windows 98/2000 are pre-configured to use ACPI. Systems with
ACPI enabled will not use power management settings configured in BIOS Setup. To configure power
management settings in Windows 98 or Windows 2000, open Power Management in Control Panel and
select the desired settings in the Power Management Properties window.
WIndows NT users: Power management should be disabled in the BIOS, and the Plug & Play OS selection
under the Advanced BIOS menu should be set to Yes.
Caution
Power savings options should be set to the most conservative
values possible for your application; doing so extends battery
life and lowers internal temperatures of the pen tablet.
