Using Power Management Options

Your computer includes Power Management options that can help the battery charge last longer and extend the life of the battery. Power-management options will slow down or shut off system components when the components are not being used.

Power management may slow down system performance. Your computer runs fastest with the power cord attached, whereby power management is disabled.

In the next sections, basic and advanced methods of power management will be discussed.

Basic Power Management Schemes

This section discusses the basic schemes of power management when the computer is operating on battery power or using AC power.

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - Basic Power Management Schemes - 1

Standby vs. Hibernation

Hibernation is a state where the contents of memory are stored in a special file on the hard disk, and Standby simply keeps a small holding current through the memory to keep the data. You are more likely to sustain loss of data in Standby mode so it is recommended to save all open files before entering Standby.

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - Standby vs. Hibernation - 1

Changing Devices:

Do not change PC Cards while in standby or hibernate modes.

To enter the power management window complete the following:

  1. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance.

  2. Click icon to display the Power Options Properties window.

  3. Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options.

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - Changing Devices: - 1

text_image Power Options Properties Power Schemes Alarms Power Meter Advanced Hibernate Select the power scheme with the most appropriate settings for this computer. Note that changing the settings below will modify the selected scheme. Power schemes: BatteryMgr-Normal Save As... Delete Settings for BatteryMgr-Normal power scheme When computer is: Prugged in Running on batteries Turn off monitor: After 15 mins After 15 mins Turn off hard disk: Never After 10 mins System standby: Never After 15 mins System hibernotes: Never After 25 mins OK Cancel Apply

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - Changing Devices: - 2

By default, the power scheme is configured to BatteryMgr-normal mode. BatteryMgr-normal mode extends the battery life and optimizes the Intel Speed-step 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 BatteryMgr-normal mode after reinstalling Windows, install the Battery Manager program using the system software Media.

  1. Select the time that you wish each of the following actions to occur in Battery and AC power mode.

  2. Turn off monitor

  3. Turn off hard disks
  4. 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.

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - Changing Devices: - 3

You can also reserve Turning Computer Off, Hibernation state, Hold Mode, etc. by selecting System > Computer Scheduling in the EasyBox program. (see "Using EasyBox" on page 31.)

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.

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - Hibernate Mode (Power Management or Manual Method) - 1

If You Reinstall Windows:

You should re-establish hibernate in power options by opening Power Options Properties window and click on the Hibernate tab then click "Enable Hibernation".

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - If You Reinstall Windows: - 1

text_image Power Options Properties Power Schemes Alarms Power Meters Advanced Hibernate When your computer hibernates, it stores whatever it has in memory on your hard disk and then shuts down. When your computer comes out of hibernation, it returns to its previous state. Hibernate Enable hibernation Disk space for hibernation Free disk space: 16,441 MB Disk space required to hibernate: 113MB OK Cancel Options

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - If You Reinstall Windows: - 2

Frequent Interruptions:

If you experience frequent interruptions, you might also consider putting your computer into automatic hibernation after a specified number of minutes using the power management options.

Standby Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)

Standby is used mainly for conserving battery power in your notebook computer. It also gives you the benefit of getting right back to your work without waiting for the computer to restart. Standby turns off your monitor and hard disks, placing your entire system in a low-power state. When you return to your computer, restores your desktop exactly as you left it. It is recommended that you do not enter standby mode with less than 20% battery power.

  1. Click OK to set your power management options and close the window.

SAMSUNG NP-G10 - Standby Mode (Power Management or Manual Method) - 1

Configure wireless LAN to 'Disable' to use function. ① Click on My Network Place> View network connections on the Desktop. ② Right-click over Wireless Network Connection and select Disable.

Q2 When I connected 100Mbps wired LAN and the computer exits standby/hibernate mode, a message informing 10Mbps wired LAN connection appears.

A When the computer exits standby/hibernate mode, restoring the network takes about 3 seconds. When the network is restored, it operates in 100Mbps.

Q1 I cannot find an AP.

\- Check the Wireless LAN LED. A Check if the Wireless LAN LED is on. If off, press the Wireless LAN On/Off button + to turn it on. \- Reinstall the driver. A Reinstall the driver using the software media. \- Check the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service. A If the "Windows cannot make this wireless connection" message appears while searching for wireless networks, it indicates that a program other than Windows is set to manage the wireless LAN settings. • To use the wireless LAN settings using Windows: A Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections > Wireless LAN Connection, right-click and check if the "Windows manages wireless network settings (W)" option is selected in the Wireless Network tab of the Properties window. If not, select the option. ② Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and click Services and Applications > Services. In the right pane, double-click the Wireless Zero Configuration and check if the Startup Type is Automatic and the Status is Started.

Q2 I cannot connect to an AP. (The wireless connection is disconnected frequently.)

\- Check the Network Key. A Right-click the Wireless Network Connections icon from the Taskbar and click on 'View available wireless networks'. If wireless networks are found, it indicates that the device is operating properly but the network settings may have a problem. Please check the Network Key (Encryption Key) and the AP settings. \- Check if there is a device nearby using the same frequency band. A1 If there is a device nearby using the same frequency band such as another wireless LAN device, wireless video transceiver, microwave oven, plasma bulb, etc., channel interference may occur. If you experience interference from another device, it is recommended changing the AP channel. A2 When operating in EEE802.11g mode, if there is a IEEE802.11b device operating nearby, you may experience low data rates or even disconnection as it operates in Hybrid mode.

- Check the authentication type.

A connection may be disconnected after a period of time if the "Use IEEE 802.1x network authentication" option is selected when IEEE 802.1x authentication is not being used. View the properties of the corresponding AP in the Wireless Network Properties. In the Authentication tab, unselect the "Use IEEE 802.1x authentication in this network" option. For detailed information on the authentication server, ask your network administrator.

- Check the AP settings.

A1 Check if the surroundings are appropriate for a wireless LAN. A wireless LAN connection may be limited by the surrounding environment and distance. Obstacles such as walls and door mats affect the quality of the wireless LAN signal. You have to install an AP in a high, open position far away from any other radio signal sources. If the AP is excessively far away, or is installed at the end of a building and you are attempting to use the wireless LAN from the other end, you may not be able to use the wireless communication normally because the signal is blocked by obstacles between you and the AP (such as a wall). A2 Check if the AP operates properly. If the AP is not operating properly, turn it off and on again and try again. A3 Check if the AP firmware is the latest version. (For more information on the AP firmware, ask the AP manufacturer or your product provider.) A4 Check if the AP is properly connected to the network. Connect the LAN cable from the AP to a computer and check if the network is connected properly. A5 Check the Network Key (Encryption Key) settings again. If the automatic password converting function (passphrase function) is enabled and the wireless connection is normal but you cannot send data over the connection, please enter the Network Key (Encryption Key) manually. A6 Check the AP settings as follows. If there are multiple APs running at the same time, check the channel setting of each AP. If the interval between the channels of the APs is narrow, you may experience electromagnetic interference. Set the channel numbers of the APs so that the internals between the channels are maximized. (E.g., Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13) If the SSID option is set to Hide, you will not be able to find the AP on your computer. It is recommended unselecting the Hide option of the AP. SSID (Service Set ID) is a name used to distinguish a wireless LAN from other wireless LANs. It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Although some APs support Short Preamble, there might be a compatibility problem. Because 'Fixed' channel selection is more stable then 'Auto' channel selection, 'Fixed' channel selection is recommended. It is recommended not using the 'Block Any' and 'Any Connection Block' functions. Although these functions block connections at the client side when the network name is Any or Blank, it may cause a compatibility problem. For more information on the AP settings, refer to the owner's manual supplied with the AP.

Q3 Although a connection has been established, I cannot connect to the Internet.

- Check the TCP/IP settings.

A If you cannot connect to the Internet but you are connected to an AP, check if the TCP/IP settings are configured properly. When you are not connected to an AP, an X mark appears over the 'Wireless Network Connections' (icon) in the Taskbar. If you double-click the icon, the Search for Wireless Connections window appears. Reconnect to a wireless network referring to the descriptions of Connecting to a Wireless LAN in the Using the Network section. When you are connected to an AP, an X mark appears over the 'Wireless Network Connections' ( ) icon in the Taskbar. Double-click the icon and check if the IP address is properly allocated on the Support tab. If the IP address is not properly allocated, the IP address will be displayed as follows; (e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx). If your network does not support DHCP, you have to manually configure an IP address by asking your network administrator. In addition, even if your network supports DHCP, the Internet connection may not be available if the DHCP server fails to allocate an IP address to your computer.

Q4 I have configured both wired and wireless connections with the same IP address, but the network connections do not work properly.

A You cannot use the same IP address for wired and wireless connections. To use only one IP address for both wired and wireless connections, you must disable one of them according to your requirements in Network Connections in the Control Panel. Q5 After installing the Wireless LAN Setting program, the "AEGIS Protocol (IEEE 802.1x)" protocol appears in the [Local Area Connect Properties] window. A The protocol is a security authentication protocol that is automatically installed when the Wireless LAN Settings program is installed and does not affect the program operation. Q1 3D game is not executed, or some functions are not working. A Change the graphic setting of the game to '2D' or 'Software Renderer', then execute the program again. Q2 I launched a game right after installing it, and the game is not executed. A This problem may occur when the game is not compatible with Windows XP. Launch the game again, and it will be executed properly. Q3 Key combination does not work. A While displaying video of VCD or MPEG, or the display setting is Dual View, you cannot toggle display devices. Also the installation of NetWare Client 32 program disables the function of +keys does not work or the screen is not properly displayed. A Some games and 3D application programs may change the display device control. Therefore, pressing the ++ Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Power Schemes tab, then configure the Power schemes field to 'Always On'.) Q6 Some part of a game image is not displayed or is displayed in black. A This may happen when running a game designed for DirectX 8.1, such as NHL 2003, MVP Baseball 2003, etc. Q7 The moving images of some games are displayed intermittently. A When playing some games which require a very high system performance, you may experience a slow picture display or the motion may not be smooth. In this case, decrease the screen resolution and texture detail level in the game options (Driver3, NeedForSpeed, Battlefield2, Prince of Persia, Call of Duty2, SWAT4, etc.).

AC adapter

The AC (or alternating current) adapter regulates current coming into your computer from the wall outlet. The current at the wall outlet is alternating current and needs to be changed by the adapter to DC (direct current) before your computer can use it for power.

ACPI

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)- a method for describing hardware interfaces in terms abstract enough to allow flexible and innovative hardware implementations and concrete enough to allow shrink-wrap OS code to use such hardware interfaces.

BIOS

BIOS stands for basic input/output system. The BIOS is software (often called firmware) that is independent of any operating system. It enables the computer to communicate with the screen, keyboard, and other peripheral devices without using programs on the hard disk. The BIOS on your computer is flash BIOS, which means that it has been recorded on a flash memory chip that can be updated if needed.

Boot

To start your computer. A cold boot resets the entire computer and runs through all computer self-tests. A warm boot clears out computer memory only.

Boot disk

A disk containing operating system programs required to start your computer. A boot disk can be a floppy disk, hard drive, or compact disc.

Byte

The basic unit of measure for computer memory. A character—such as a letter of the alphabet—uses one byte of memory. Computer memory is often measured in kilobytes (1,024 bytes) or megabytes (1,048,576 bytes). Each byte is made up of eight bits. For more information on bytes and bits, see an introductory book on computers.

Cache memory

Cache is very fast, zero-wait-state memory located between the microprocessor and main memory. Cache reduces the average time required by the microprocessor to get the data it needs from the main memory by storing recently accessed data in the cache.

CardBus

CardBus technology enables the computer to use 32-bit PC Cards. Hardware in the computer and the Windows operating system provide support for the 32-bit cards. The voltage of 32-bit cards (3.3 volts) is lower than that of 16-bit cards (5 volts). The 32-bit cards can transmit more data at a time than the 16-bit cards, thus increasing their speed.

CMOS memory

CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is powered by the CMOS battery. The System Setup settings and other parameters are maintained in CMOS memory. Even when you turn your computer off, the information in CMOS memory is saved.

COM port

COM stands for communication. COM ports are the serial ports in your computer.

Compact Disc

A compact disc (CD).

Conventional memory

The first 640 KB of system memory. Operating systems and application programs can directly access this memory without using memory-management software.

Disk

The device used by the computer to store and retrieve information. Disk can refer to a floppy disk, hard disk, or RAM disk.

Disk cache

A software device that accumulates copies of recently used disk sectors in RAM. The application program can then read these copies without accessing the disk. This, in turn, speeds up the performance of the application. A cache is a buffer for transferring disk sectors in and out of RAM. Data stored in a disk cache is a copy of data already stored on the physical disk.

DMA (direct memory access)

A method of transferring data from a device to memory without having the data pass through the microprocessor. Using DMA can speed up system performance.

DPMS

Display Power Management Signalling. Displays or monitors that comply with this can be managed by the Power Management features found in the system setup.

Floppy disk

A removable disk, also called floppy or diskette.

Hard drive

Also called fixed disk. A hard drive is connected to the computer and can be installed or removed. Data written to a hard drive remains until it is overwritten or corrupted. The 2.5-inch hard drive in your computer was designed for use in a notebook computer. Because hard drives in notebook computers are smaller than those in desktop computers, their maximum storage capacity may be less than that of desktop hard drives. However, because of their smaller size, the drives handle shock and vibration better than larger drives, which is important for a notebook computer.

I/O

Input/output. Refers to peripheral devices, such as printers, that are addressed through an I/O address.

I/O address

I/O stands for input/output. Peripheral devices, such as printers, are addressed through the I/O port address.

IRQ (interrupt request line)

The IRQ is a hardware line that a device uses to signal the microprocessor when the device needs the microprocessor's services. The number of IRQs is limited by industry standards.

LCD (liquid-crystal display)

The LCD screen on your computer differs from the display screen of a desktop monitor. Most desktop monitors use CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, which work by moving an electron beam across phosphor dots on the back of the screen. The phosphor dots light up to show the image. LCDs use a liquid-crystal solution between two sheets of polarizing material. Electric current passing through the liquid aligns the crystals so that light can or cannot pass through them, creating an image.

MB (megabyte)

1,024 kilobytes.

Megabit

1,048,576 bits or about 128 kilobytes.

Operating system

A program that supervises the computer's operation, including handling I/O. Application programs and users can request operating-system services. A user might request operation-system services to copy files or format a disk. An application program might use the operating system to obtain keyboard input, write data to a file, or write data to a screen.

PC Card

PC Card stands for personal computer card. The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) defines the standards used to develop all PC Cards. PC Card types include: modems, Ethernet adapters, SCSI adapters, ATA cards, and memory cards.

PC slot

The PC slot is the hardware slot in the computer where the PC Card is placed.

Pixel

A pixel is an individual dot in a graphic displayed on your computer. The pixels are so close together that they look as though they are connected. An LCD screen displays thousands or millions of pixels.

Plug and Play

A plug and play operating system automatically configures computer components to work with your system. With this type of operating system, you normally do not need to set jumpers on devices or set memory addresses or IRQs.

RAM (random access memory)

The computer's system memory, including conventional and extended memory. You can write to and read from RAM. Information stored in RAM is temporary, and is erased when the system is turned off.

Refresh rate

The refresh rate is the rate at which the image on the LCD screen is rewritten to the screen. A fast refresh rate helps keep the image from flickering.

Resolution

The resolution is the sharpness or clarity of the image on your LCD screen. Resolution is measured by the number of pixels the computer's screen can display. For example, a resolution of 800 × 600 means that the screen can display 800 pixels in row and can display 600 rows. The more pixels displayed, the higher the resolution and the better the image.

ROM (read-only memory)

Permanent computer memory dedicated to a particular function. For example, the instructions for starting the computer when you first turn on power are contained in ROM. You cannot write to ROM. (ROM is not the same as RAM).

Sector

Also known as disk sector. The portion of a track that is numbered and can hold a specified number of characters (usually 512 KB).

Shadow RAM

A write-protected area of RAM that contains a copy of the BIOS. As the computer boots, the BIOS is copied from its permanent location in ROM to RAM. The BIOS can be executed much faster in RAM than in ROM. The BIOS remains in shadow RAM until you turn off the computer.

TFT (thin film transistor) LCD

A TFT LCD uses a separate transistor circuit to control each pixel. This technology provides the best resolution for an LCD screen. A TFT LCD is also sometimes called an active matrix LCD.
