Operating the HP Notebook PC with a Windows 2000 UpgradeCertain OmniBook-specific functions of your computer will work differently with the new operating system,Windows 2000. This altered functionality is explained below. For general operating information usingWindows 2000, refer to Microsoft’s Windows 2000 documentation (click Start, Help).Note that HP does not support a dual boot of Windows 2000 with another operating system.The topics included in this document are:• Turning Off the Computer.• Controlling Power Management.• Using BIOS Setup.• Using the Fn Keys.• Removing Plug-In Devices.• Docking and Other Enhanced HP Functionality.• Using Pointing Devices.• Enabling Infrared Connections• Troubleshooting.Note: Check the HP Customer Care website for the latest available drivers and programs for Windows 2000on the HP Notebook PC (www.hp.com/omnibook/support/).Turning Off the ComputerTo change the settings, use Control Panel, Power Options.This Action Produces This Power ModeClose the lid (in default setting, "None")–or–Allow time-out.Standby (HP term) or Display Off (Microsoft).Saves minimal power.Maintains network connections.Click Start, Shut Down, Stand by–or–Allow time-out.Suspend (HP term) or Standby (Microsoft).Saves significant power.Saves current session to RAM.Will restore network connections.Press Fn+F12–or–Click Start, Shut Down, Hibernate–or-Allow time-out.Hibernate.Saves maximum power.Saves current session to disk.Will restore network connections.Click Start, Shut Down, Shut down (recommended)*–or–Press blue power button (in its default setting, "PowerOff")Off.Saves maximum power.Does not save current session.At startup, resets everything, starts a new session,and restores network connections.*Start, Shut down is recommended because it closes all applications before turning off, while the power button doesnot.Controlling Power ManagementUnder Windows 2000, the BIOS Setup does not manage power, as it did under previous Windowsoperating systems. Windows 2000 itself manages the power. This means that–except for “Auto Suspend onUndock” and “Auto Turn-on on Dock”– the Power settings in BIOS Setup have no effect, even though theyare still present.
