Stealth Mode Configuration
Stealth mode allows you to use the computer in an environment
where sound and light could be dangerous or disruptive. If stealth
mode is disabled, the LEDs, fan, system beeps, audio, and display
brightness operate normally.
NOTE An off setting indicates stealth mode is in effect for that
option. For example, if stealth mode is enabled and the LED option
is set to “off”, the LEDs will NOT illuminate to indicate activity.
