You can also protect your system by selecting Write

protect for the

Fixed

disk

boot sector option.

When this option is enabled, the system displays an error

message when a program tries to write to the boot sector of

your hard disk drive. To use a legitimate program (such as the

MS-DOS

®

FORMAT command) you must disable the write

protect option.

Two additional options on this screen allow you to define time

intervals for the system to display a prompt asking whether

you have performed your scheduled virus check or your

scheduled backup for your hard disk drive. You can disable

these prompts

or

have them display

Daily, Weekly, or

Monthly.

If you respond that you have not performed these

functions, however, the system still starts normally.

Using the Green PC Features

The Green PC options allow you to define how the

energy-saving features of this Energy Star compliant system

will work for you. The options on the Green PC Features screen

allow you to disable the energy-saving feature or set timeout

periods to put the system and hard disk drive in a low-energy

standby mode.

The Inactivity

Timer1

option sets the time out period

for video signals to your monitor. When the mouse or

keyboard has been inactive for the time period you select here,

your computer stops sending video signals to your monitor. If

your monitor is also Energy Star compliant, it goes into a

low-power standby mode because it isn’t receiving video

signals from your computer. Screens on monitors that aren’t

Energy Star compliant will go blank when your system is in

standby mode.
