Advanced Tab
The Advanced tab allows you to:
l Set power icon and standby mode password options.
l Depending on your operating system, program the following functions:
¡ Prompt user for an action (Ask me what to do).
¡ Activate standby mode.
¡ Activate hibernate mode.
¡ Shut down Windows and turn off the computer.
¡ Choose no action (None or Do nothing).
If you are going to connect your computer to a docking device, click None when you program the display-close option. This setting ensures that your

technology allows you to set the performance level of the processor according to whether the computer is running on battery or AC power:

computer is running on battery power, the processor runs in Battery Optimized mode.
l Maximum Battery The processor runs at a slower speed to extend battery life.
l Maximum Performance The processor runs at its highest possible speed even if the computer is running on battery power.
l Battery Optimized Performance Processor speed is optimized for battery power even if the computer is connected to an electrical outlet.

l Disable Intel SpeedStep technology control
l Remove flag icon (from the notification area)
l Disable audio notification when performance changes
2. Click OK to accept any changes, and then click OK to close the Intel SpeedStep window.
