Putting your computer to sleep
Your Power Macintosh is preset to put itself to sleep after 30 minutes of
inactivity. When your computer goes to sleep, the screen enters a low-power
mode in which it dims and the hard disk stops spinning but remains ready to
start back up quickly. (To prevent your computer from overheating, the fan
will continue to spin.) If the computer goes to sleep while you have unsaved
information on screen, you do not lose any of the information.
To put your computer to sleep right away, choose the Sleep command from
the Special menu, or press the Power key on the keyboard to bring up the
Shutdown dialog box pictured below.
You can set sleep options by clicking Sleep Setup in the Energy Saver control
panel, available under Control Panels in the Apple (K) menu. You click to put
an X in a checkbox to indicate that the option is selected. If you want to
deselect it, click to remove the X.
