3. Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options.
4. Select the time that you wish each of the following actions to occur in Battery and
AC power mode.
• Turn off monitor
• Turn off hard disks
• System standby
• System hibernates
Turning off the monitor and HDDs will save a substantial amount of battery power,
therefore when in battery only mode select the shortest time practical.
Hibernate Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)
When hibernation is used, your computer turns off and when you power up again,
everything is restored exactly as you left it—including programs and documents
you may not have saved or closed. Everything in memory gets saved to the HDD,
and the monitor and hard disk get turned off.
By default, the power scheme is
configured to SAMSUNG mode.
SAMSUNG mode extends the battery
life and optimizes the Intel Speedstep
function. Since the CPU power
consumption is automatically
optimized to conserve power when
the computer is operating on battery
power, an application may be
executed slower than when it is
operating on AC power.To use
SAMSUNG mode after reinstalling
Windows, install the PowerCFG
program using the system software
CD.
