Display Close Lets you determine whether your computer enters standby mode when the display is closed or whether only the display is
turned off.
Suspend (the default) — Allows the computer to enter standby mode when the display is closed.
Active — Turns off the display, but does not put the computer into standby mode.
Ring/Event Resume Lets you determine if the computer exits standby mode when an installed modem card receives an incoming call. This
feature must be supported by your modem PC Card and your operating system.
Settings for this option are:
Disabled (the default) — Resumes normal operation when the computer detects a modem ring
Enabled — Keeps the computer in standby mode when the computer detects a modem ring
NOTE: Dell recommends that you set Ring/Event Resume to Disabled when an external serial device, other than a
modem, is connected to your computer.
In order for the Ring/Event Resume option to work properly, this feature must be enabled in the device driver for your
modem PC Card. All drivers supplied by Dell with your computer are configured to allow the computer to resume normal
operation when a modem receives an incoming call. If you use a PC Card that you did not receive from Dell, check the
documentation to make sure this feature is set to Enabled.
A change to the Ring/Event Resume option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required).
Alarm Resume Directs the computer to resume normal operation when it is in suspend mode and detects an alarm from the RTC. Such
alarms can be set through various application programs. In order for the alarms in these programs to work, the Alarm
Resume option must be set to Enabled.
Settings for this option are:
Enabled (the default) — Resumes normal operation when the computer detects an alarm.
Disabled — Keeps the computer in suspend mode even if the computer detects an alarm.
A change to the Alarm Resume option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required).
