Other BIOS Setup Options

BIOS Setup offers other options, including the following:
T
Auto Configuration with Defaults — Loads default settings.
T
Save Settings and Exit — Accepts changes made to current settings,
saves to CMOS, and exits BIOS Setup.
T
Exit Without Saving — Reverts to previously selected settings and exits
Setup.

Password Protection

Your NEC Versa supports a password for system security on several levels.
Once you set a password, you must enter it before you can enter BIOS Setup,
access the system at startup, or resume from Suspend, depending on your
configuration selection.
Your system is not protected until you set a password and you are not prompted
to enter a password until you set a supervisor password.
Note:
BIOS Setup utility allows you to set a user password.

Using BIOS Setup to Set Power Management

Power Management Setup allows you to use the factory-defined power savings
level (Longest Life), or choose between High Perform, Custom, or Off. Each
provides a special value to your current work effort. These power management
levels were designed with you in mind. For example, you can use them under
the following circumstances:
T
Longest Life — Provides best battery life and good performance. Use
while traveling long distances.
T
High Perform — Provides best performance and good battery life. Use
while on the road or traveling short distances.
T
Custom — Lets you decide! Set power management levels according to
your own needs and present environment.
T
Off — Works well in an office environment while powering your NEC
Versa SX with AC power.

Using the Save to File (STF) Feature

STF protects the integrity of your working files. For example, if you are called
away from your NEC Versa and Suspend mode is selected with auto Save to
File active, your system automatically goes into Suspend mode after 10 minutes.
After 30 minutes, if you don't return, your working environment is saved to a
special file on your hard disk.
