AC Energy Saver Overview
When the computer is connected to AC power, the AC Energy
Saver shuts down the hard drive and initiates the screen saver after
set timeouts expire.
Enabling/Disabling PC Card Slots
PC Cards are small form factor options that require power when
inserted in the computer. When PC Cards are in the PC Card slots,
they draw power from the system even when they are not being
used.
If you are running Windows 95, remove a PC Card when it is not
being used or turn off power to the PC Card slots through Power
Properties. To access Power Properties, click Start
Æ
Settings
Æ
Control Panel
Æ
double-click Power.
If you are running Windows NT, remove PC Cards when they are
not being used. This is true regardless of whether or not you are
using CardWare 5.0.
If you are operating the computer on a battery pack, disabling
power to the PC Card slots extends the battery life. You can also
turn off power to the PC Card slot when the computer is in
Suspend.
