Power Management
Does my system come with power management features enabled?
Yes, your system comes with power management features enabled. If you
do not use the keyboard, mouse, or drives for the preset length of inactive time, your
screen goes blank and your system goes into a power saving mode of operation. This is
known as LCD timeout (Windows 98/2000) or Standby mode (Windows NT).
When your screen goes blank, just press the Space Bar or move your mouse to
reactivate your system. If the power status LED blinks, the system has entered the next
level of power management, Standby mode (Windows 98/2000) or Suspend mode
(Windows NT). See the following questions and answers.
