MANAGEMENT
This computer has a built-in power management unit that monitors system 
activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or more of the 
following devices: keyboard, mouse, hard disk, peripherals connected to 
the computer, and video memory. If no activity is detected for a period of 
time, the computer stops some or all of these devices in order to conserve 
energy.
Saving power
Disable Fast startup
Your computer uses Fast startup to start quickly, but also uses a small 
amount of power to check for signals to start. These checks will slowly 
drain your computer’s battery. 
If you prefer to reduce your computer’s power requirements and 
environmental impact, turn off Fast startup:
Note: If Fast startup is off, your computer will take longer to start from 
Sleep.
