Setting or changing a power scheme
The Power Schemes tab in the Power Options Properties dialog box assigns power levels to system
components. You can assign different schemes, depending on whether the computer is running on
battery or external power.
You can also set a power scheme that initiates standby or turns off the display or hard drive after a time
interval that you specify.
To set a power scheme:
1. Right-click the Power Meter icon in the notification area, and then click Adjust Power
Properties.
2. Click the Power Schemes tab.
3. Select the power scheme you want to modify, and adjust options in the lists on the screen.
4. Click Apply.
