Turning on energy management for Windows NT Workstation
These instructions guide you in setting BIOS level power management
on a Dell computer, with BIOS version A03. If you do not find the
options and commands described below in your BIOS screens, please
exit the setup screen without saving any changes, and contact us at
the e-mail address shown below. Please note that this implementation
of energy saving causes both the monitor and the internal hard disk
to power down after a period of inactivity. Dell Computer Corporation
has reported some problems with computer programs crashing due to
power management. We have so far not been able to reproduce these
problems during our testing here at UNH.
- Start or restart your computer.
- Enter the BIOS Setup Utility (see below).
- Press Alt-P to switch to page two of the setup screen.
- Use the arrow keys to navigate to the Power Management field.
- Select the "Regular" option, by pressing the right arrow key.
- Press Esc to save and exit.
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility,
either reboot your computer and press F2 when prompted to do so
during the system boot process, or press ctrl-alt-enter.
If you need additional assistance, please submit a request to the
Help Desk.
