If you assign a primary password, the computer prompts you for the password each time you boot the computer.
NOTICE: The password features provide a high level of security for the data in your computer. However, they are not foolproof. If
your data requires more security, you should obtain and use additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs or PC
Cards with encryption features.
Ring/Event Resume
Ring/Event Resume lets you determine if the computer exits suspend mode when an installed modem PC Card receives an incoming call. This
feature must be supported by your modem PC Card and your operating system.
Settings for this option are:
l Enabled (the default) Resumes normal operation when the computer detects a modem ring
l Disabled Keeps the computer in suspend mode when the computer detects a modem ring
A change to Ring/Event Resume takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required).
S2D Time-out
S2D Time-out lets you determine how long your computer remains idle (no I/O activity) before activating suspend-to-disk (S2D) mode to conserve
battery power.
S2D Time-out settings for the AC and Battery options are:
A change to S2D Time-out takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required).
If you are not in the System Setup program and your computer is running in Advanced Power Management (APM) mode, you can activate S2D
mode at any time by pressing <Fn><a>. Press the power button to resume operation from S2D mode.
Serial Port
Serial Port allows you to disable or remap the address of the serial port on the Dell Latitude C/Port Family APR or C/Dock Family Expansion
Station. When the computer is undocked, this option is blue or dimmed and has no user-selectable settings.
Settings for this option are:
l COM1 (the default) Maps the serial port to COM1
l COM2 Maps the serial port to COM2
l COM3 Maps the serial port to COM3
l COM4 Maps the serial port to COM4
l Disabled Disables the serial port and its assigned COM address, freeing that interrupt for another device to use
NOTES: Dell recommends that you set Ring/Event Resume to Disabled when an external serial device, other than a modem, is
connected to your computer.
For Ring/Event Resume 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 card's documentation to make sure that this feature is
set to Enabled.
