Power Menu
If you’re using Windows 98 in its standard power mode, power options you set in Power
Management Control Panel override corresponding settings in the Power menu.
If you’re using Windows 2000, only the settings marked with * are used, and other
settings in the Power menu are ignored.
Setting Description Default
Power Management
Mode
Disables time-outs, selects a combination of time-outs, or
allows customized time-outs.
Max Power
Savings
Smart CPU Mode Enables automatic CPU power savings when running on
battery power. Absence of keyboard, mouse, and hard disk
activity could cause slower CPU response. For a model
without “900 B” after the serial number, this should normally
be Off to avoid interfering with time sensitive operations—
and this setting applies on both battery and ac power.
