External Hot Key

External hotkey: This setting allows you to use the keys in the same way that you use the keys on your laptop on the PS/2 keyboard. If you are using an ACPI operating system, such as Win2000 or WinXP, the USB keyboard cannot use keys. The keys are available only in pure DOS mode for USB keyboards. Set to "SCROLL LOCK" (the default option) to enable this feature, set to "not installed" to disable this feature.

USB Emulation

USB emulation: Use this option to use a USB keyboard, USB mouse, and USB floppy drive in an operating system that does not directly support USB. This setting is automatically enabled during the BIOS boot process. When this feature is enabled, emulation continues to work when control is transferred to the operating system. When this feature is disabled, emulation is turned off when control is transferred to the operating system.

Pointing Device

Pointing device: When set to "SERIAL MOUSE" The external serial mouse is enabled and the integrated touchpad is disabled. When set to "Ps/2 MOUSE", the integrated Touchpad is disabled if the external PS/2 mouse. When set to "Touch Pad-ps/2 MOUSE" (the default setting), if the external PS/2 mouse, you can switch between the mouse and the touchpad. The changes take effect after the computer restarts.

Video Expansion

Video extensions: Use this option to enable or disable video extensions, and to adjust the lower resolution to a higher, normal LCD resolution.

Battery Battery

Battery Status Battery State

Power Management Management

Suspend mode hangs

AC power Recovery: This option can be reflected by the computer when the AC power adapter is re-plugged into the system.

Low power mode: This option sets the amount of power used when the system sleeps or shuts down.

Brightness

Brightness: This option sets the brightness of the display when the computer starts. When the computer is operating in a power supply state, it is set to half by default. The computer works when the AC power adapter is powered, the default setting is maximum.

Wakeup on LAN

Wake on LAN: This option setting allows the computer to wake up from hibernation when the network signal is connected. This setting is not valid for machine status (Standby state). The standby state can only be awakened in the operating system. This setting is only valid when the AC power adapter is connected.

Auto on Mod automatic boot mode: Note If the AC power adapter is not connected, the setting will not be effective. This option sets the computer's auto-on time, which can be set to automatically turn on the computer every day or only on weekdays. The settings take effect after the computer restarts.

Auto on time: This option sets the time for the system to start automatically, and the time format is 24-hour. Type a value or use the left and RIGHT arrow keys to set the value. The settings take effect after the computer restarts.

Dock Configuration Docking Station

Docking Status Docking station

Universal Connect Universal Interface: This setting is not valid if the operating system you are using is WinNT4.0 or earlier. If more than one Dell docking device is used frequently, and you want to minimize the initial time when the docking station is docked, set to "ENABLED" (the default setting). If you want the operating system to generate a new system settings file for each new docking device to which the computer is connected, set to "DISABLED".
