allows customized time-outs.

Savings
Smart CPU Mode Enables automatic CPU power savings when running on
battery power. Absence of keyboard, mouse, and hard disk
activity could cause slower CPU response. For a model without
“900 B” after the serial number, this should normally be Off to
avoid interfering with time sensitive operations—and this
setting applies on both battery and ac power.
