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
. 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.
