Aurora R7, timer for side panel lights?

Where is the timer located for the side panel lights on an Aurora R7?  Sometimes the side panel lights will turn off on their own; moving the mouse or touching the keyboard will get them to come back on.  I've discovered that a timer exists for the AW768 keyboard and can be set manually, but so far have been unable to find any sort of timer for the case LEDs.

    Try this:

    In Alienware Command Center (ie v4.x )
    - - Inactivity Timer: Never Go Inactive
    - - Keep Status Zones on during Go Dark

    In AlienFusion,
    - Power-Profile is set to "High Performance"
    - In AlienFusion "Always Ready Mode" is turned OFF
    -   - Now you can right click on AlienFX icon in TaskTray, and set Inactivity Timer to Custom/Never go Inactive.

    The monitor, case lights, and (especially) FANS now stay ON while a benchmark or stress-test is running.
