Power management
The power-management features supported by your system are described in
the following sections.
About soft-off
When you turn off your computer by following the Windows shutdown
procedure or pressing the power button, a small amount of power (less than
5 watts) still runs to the wakeup circuitry on the system board. In this soft-off
state, your computer can still respond to an incoming signal from the modem
or to certain LAN commands.
To remove all power from your computer, turn off the computer and unplug
the power cord. When you plug the power cord back in, the network
connection LEDs may flash and the fan may start before you press the power
button. This is normal.
Using suspend in Windows 95
Suspend is a power-management feature that can reduce power by shutting
down the hard drive and reducing or turning off power to the monitor. When
the system is in Suspend, it appears to be off. The computer's power LED turns
amber and the monitor goes dark, indicating that the system has entered
Suspend. However, some wakeup events can bring the system out of Suspend.
When you resume from Suspend, the system returns to the state it was in
without going through the normal startup routine.
