CHAPTER▼ TWO
BIOS SETUP AND SECURITY FEATURE
In this chapter, you will learn how to
enter the BIOS Setup Menu and
manipulate various hardware control
settings. You will also learn how to use
the built-in security features.

■ chapter 2 bios setup and security feature
The Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into
your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). It runs and
maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is a menu-driven
software, which allows you to easily configure and change the
settings.
The BIOS contains manufacture’s default settings for the
computer’s standard operations. However, there are occasions
when you may be required to modify the default settings in the
BIOS. For example, you may need to configure the BIOS power
management (APM) settings if you are using DOS, or
non-Windows operating system.
The BIOS allows you to set up passwords to limit access to users.
This is an important feature because a great deal of vital
information is carried within the computer nowadays. Unauthorized
access can be prevented. Later in this chapter, you will learn how to
use this security feature.

BATTERY POWER & POWER
MANAGEMENT
In this chapter, you will learn the
fundamentals of power management
and how to use it to achieve longer
battery life.
3-1
■ chapter 3 battery power & power management
In this chapter, you will learn how to operate your notebook on
battery power, how to handle and maintain the battery pack, and
learn about the system’s power saving features.
TFT display, central processor, hard disk drive are the major
hardware subsystems that consume the most power. Power
management deals how these key components should behave to
conserve power. For example, you can have the system turn off its
display after 2 minutes of inactivity to save power. Efficient power
management can help you work longer sessions before having to
recharge the battery.
The Battery Pack
Lithium-Ion Battery
Your notebook uses a six-cell or four-cell Lithium-Ion
battery pack that provides power when you don’t have
access to an AC outlet.
3-2
Note:
It is necessary that you charge the battery pack for at least 6
hours before using it for the first time.
Note: In the Standby Suspend mode, a fully charged battery loses its
power in roughly 1/2 day or less. When not being used, the battery’s
power will deplete in 1-2 month.
■ chapter 3 battery power & power management
Battery Low-Power Warning
1. Low Battery Warning
Low battery condition occurs when battery power is
reduced to 6%. The red battery status LED indicator
blinks and the system beeps once every 16 seconds or
so.
2. Very Low Battery Warning
Very Low battery condition occurs at 3 % power
remaining. The red battery status LED indicator blinks
and the system beeps at 4-second interval.
When the notebook warns you of its low battery condit ion,
you will have about 3-5 minutes to save your current
work.
Warning:

Using Windows Power Options
Windows Power Management provides basic power saving
features. In the Windows Power Options Properties [Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Power Options] dialogue box, you
may enter time-out values for display and hard disk drive.
Windows power manager saves power by turning off hard drive
after 1 minute of inactivity, for example.
Windows’ Power Schemes
The power management control panel in Windows XP,
known as Power Schemes, is designed to provide the
user with an easy-to-use interface. The Power Schemes
tab can be found in the Power Options Properties panel
that is accessible via the control panel window.
Schemes are easy to understand, based on notebook
usage scenarios, and control not only processor power
usage but other system peripherals as well.
Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click
the Power Options icon.
Always on mode puts the processor into maximum
performance mode, which provides no power saving.
The other schemes control processor performance
based on demand. For example, Max Battery mode
lowers the processor’s speed and voltage to conserve
power as much as possible.
