Standby Mode
The Standby Timeout field in System Setup enables you to specify 
the time period that the computer can remain idle (no user input 
or disk activity) before the computer enters standby mode. You 
can disable this option by selecting Off, or you can specify a 
Standby Timeout delay time of from 1 to 16 minutes. 
In standby mode, the system and video memory and the video 
controller slow down. The LCD backlight, hard drive, floppy 
drive, PC Card controller, and some other devices turn off to 
save energy. DPMS (a form of monitor power management) to 
an external monitor is invoked.
To resume from standby, touch the touchpad. Do not press any 
keys on your keyboard. 
If you press a key to resume from standby, your 
computer will recognize the function of the key 
you pressed and perform that function. For 
example, if you press <N> and a document is 
open, an “n” is typed into your document. 
If you enable both standby and rest modes, your computer 
enters standby when the delay time you chose for standby has 
elapsed, and then enters rest mode when the delay time you 
chose for rest mode has elapsed.

Timeout
 delay time of from 5 to 60 minutes. 
The Rest Mode field in System Setup defines what type of rest 
mode your computer enters:
