The Power Options Properties dialog box opens, with the Power Schemes tab displayed. 2 Select the power scheme that is most appropriate for the way you use your computer. To change a power scheme, change the settings for Turn off monitor, Turn off hard disks, System stand by, and System hibernates. The Turn off monitor option allows you to specify the period of inactivity (in minutes) that you want to elapse before your monitor turns off when your computer is running on AC power. The display reactivates when you move the mouse or press a key. 18 VAIO SlimtopTM System Reference Manual The Turn off hard disks option allows you to specify the period of inactivity (in minutes) that you want to elapse before your hard disks turn off when your computer is running on AC power. The System stand by option allows you to specify the period of inactivity (in minutes) that you want to elapse before your computer goes on Stand by when your computer is running on AC power. Power is reactivated when you click the left mouse button or press the spacebar on the keyboard.

Before opening the system unit, save and close all open files, exit all open applications, turn off the power to all attached peripheral devices, shut down the computer, and unplug the power cord. There are two configuration switches on the system board: CMOS Clear switch Onboard VGA Interrupt (AGP_INT) switch When the CMOS Clear switch is in the Normal position, it provides normal access to the BIOS Setup Utility. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) input clock is forced to remain at 100 MHz (fast mode), and the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) uses the User CMOS settings (as opposed to the System CMOS settings). The CMOS and NVRAM settings are only cleared if the checksum test returns false. Access to specific setup fields is controlled by a supervisor password or user password. When the CMOS Clear switch is in the Clear position, the password that is stored in CMOS is cleared. While the CMOS switch is in the Clear position, the system will not boot up at all. To clear your password, after setting the switch to the Clear position, wait 2-3 seconds, and then set the switch to the Normal position. If you install a VGA PCI add-in card, you can use the AGP_INT switch to enable or disable the onboard VGA controller. Configuring Your System 21 To enable or disable the CMOS Clear or onboard VGA Interrupt, perform the following steps: !1 2 Do not change any configuration switch unless directed by an authorized Sony technician. Remove the system cover (see "Removing the System Cover" on page 24). Set the switches according to the table shown in the diagram (see also "Configuration Switches" on page 61).

Before opening the system unit, save and close all open files, exit all open applications, turn off the power to all attached peripheral devices, shut down the computer, and unplug the power cord. 23 24 VAIO SlimtopTM System Reference Manual Removing the System Cover You must remove the system cover to access the system board, add-in cards, power supply, battery, and internal drives. 1 2 3 Remove the screw that secures the panel to the chassis (see item 1 in diagram), and set it aside for future use.
