Power Management

Your computer can be set to use less power when you are not working. You
control the power usage through the operating system (OS) installed on
your computer and certain option settings in

system setup

. These periods of

reduced power are called "sleep states":

Standby. In this sleep state, power to most components is reduced or

turned off. However, system memory remains active.

This state is not supported by Windows NT 4.0.

NOTE:

This state can be controlled through the Suspend Mode option in

system setup.

Hibernate. This sleep state reduces power consumption to a minimum

by writing all data in system memory to a hard drive and then

removing system power. Waking up from this state restarts the

computer, and the memory contents are restored. Operation then

resumes where the system left off when it entered the hibernation

state.

This state is supported by Windows 2000 only.

NOTE:

All components installed in the computer must support this

feature and have the appropriate drivers loaded to enter hibernation. For
more information, see the manufacturer’s documentation for each
component.
