Putting the Computer to Sleep to Save Energy
Power Mac G4 computers are set to go to sleep after a period of inactivity. Sleep is a state in
which your computer uses very little power. You can also put the computer to sleep
whenever you want.
Note: Macintosh Server G4 computers are not set to sleep, but you can set them to do so.
When the computer goes to sleep, it saves its state so that when you wake the computer,
your programs, documents, and control panel settings are exactly as you left them. You use
the Energy Saver control panel, part of the computer’s system software, to adjust sleep
settings. For further energy savings, shut down the computer and disconnect it from its
power source or turn off the power strip when the computer is not in use.
Warning Several kinds of objects placed near the computer can cause interference. See
the instructions that come with an AirPort Card or AirPort Base Station to learn about
avoiding interference. You can also find more information in the Apple Technical
