Power Management Commands

PowerPanel provides power management commands that you can use to activate
specific power management functions and to control power for a specific device. You
might use these commands when you want to override a profile setting or initiate an
immediate action, such as putting the system into Video Standby mode before the
Video Standby timer expires.
Icon Description
System Suspend – Puts the system into System Suspend mode, a power management
state that saves the state of the system and peripheral devices in memory (RAM).
Power consumption reduces to a minimum, and the system remains on. To return the
system to the active state, press any key or the power switch on your computer.
System Hibernation – Provides for the lowest level of power consumption. The
system writes the state of the system and peripheral devices to the hard disk and turns
off the system power. To return the system to the original state, use the power switch
to turn on power.
LCD (Video) Standby – Turns off the LCD to save power. If you turn off the Video
Standby timer, the display remains active except when the system enters System
Suspend mode. The video display system is one of the largest consumers of power in
the system.
