Energy Saver settings puzzle

As the title says I am puzzled by the manual and the many references to setting the energy saver using the slider option in Dashboard.  The only option I have got is “enable” tick box - absolutely nothing else, doesn’t matter whether I use Dashboard on the Mac side of things or whether I use the smartware on Windows within virtual machine.   Am I missing something? 

Slider was removed in latest firmware version.

Thank you for the info, I thought I was going mad not being able to find it. Do you know what the default time for sleep has been set at?

According to a statement of a staff member it’s 10 mins.
