momentarily on the front panel of the computer).

The computer goes into standby mode.

Alternatively, you can click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, click Shutdown, select
Standby, and then click OK.

To let the computer go into standby mode automatically

Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop. Double-click Control Panel, and then
double-click the Power Management icon. On the Power Schemes tab, select from the options in
the Power schemes drop-down list. Then, choose settings for the power scheme you have
selected. To save the settings under a name that is not offered in the Power schemes pulldown
menu, choose your settings and then click Save As. Type in a name, and click OK. Click Apply to
finalize your power settings.

To resume from standby mode

Press any key on the keyboard, move the mouse, or press the power switch on the front panel
