Intel Quick Resume Technology Power Modes

The following is a brief description of the system's behavior in each Power Mode
option:
• In Quick Resume mode, video output is turned off and audio is muted. However,
power continues to vital components in the system (processor, fans, etc) and tasks
that do not require user input can continue in the background.
• In Standby mode, power to most components except memory is turned off.
Standby will resume the system quicker than Hibernate, but consumes more
power.
• In Hibernate mode, all contents of the system memory is saved to the hard drive
and power to all components is turned off. Resume time from Hibernate is longer
than from Standby.
CAUTION
DO NOT open the computer chassis when the system is in the Intel Quick Resume
Technology Driver off state. Opening the chassis in this state can damage the system.
