Advanced Power Management
Your PC supports a power management system which complies with
the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy
Star program. Power management enables you to reduce the PC’s
power consumption when you are not using it.
Two power management modes are supported in Windows 3.11:
• Standby Mode, which significantly reduces power consumption
• Sleep Mode, which reduces power consumption to a minimum.
Windows 95 supports a third mode, Shut Off Monitor.
