HP OmniBook 2100 Reference Guide

Operating the HP Notebook PC with a Windows 2000 Upgrade Certain OmniBook-specific functions of your computer will work differently with the new operating system, Windows 2000. This altered functionality is explained below. For general operating information using Windows 2000, refer to Microsoft’s Windows 2000 documentation (click Start, Help). Note that HP does not support a dual boot of Windows 2000 with another operating system. The topics included in this document are: • Turning Off the Computer. • Controlling Power Management. • Using BIOS Setup. • Using the Fn Keys. • Removing Plug-In Devices. • Docking and Other Enhanced HP Functionality. • Using Pointing Devices. • Enabling Infrared Connections • Troubleshooting. Note: Check the HP Customer Care website for the latest available drivers and programs for Windows 2000 on the HP Notebook PC (www.hp.com/omnibook/support/). Turning Off the Computer To change the settings, use Control Panel, Power Options. This Action Produces This Power Mode Close the lid (in default setting, "None") –or– Allow time-out. Standby (HP term) or Display Off (Microsoft). Saves minimal power. Maintains network connections. Click Start, Shut Down, Stand by –or– Allow time-out. Suspend (HP term) or Standby (Microsoft). Saves significant power. Saves current session to RAM. Will restore network connections. Press Fn+F12 –or– Click Start, Shut Down, Hibernate –or- Allow time-out. Hibernate. Saves maximum power. Saves current session to disk. Will restore network connections. Click Start, Shut Down, Shut down (recommended)* –or– Press blue power button (in its default setting, "Power Off") Off. Saves maximum power. Does not save current session. At startup, resets everything, starts a new session, and restores network connections. *Start, Shut down is recommended because it closes all applications before turning off, while the power button does not. Controlling Power Management Under Windows 2000, the BIOS Setup does not manage power, as it did under previous Windows operating systems. Windows 2000 itself manages the power. This means that–except for “Auto Suspend on Undock” and “Auto Turn-on on Dock”– the Power settings in BIOS Setup have no effect, even though they are still present.
