The system will enter this power management mode within the default setting
of 30 minutes. You can set both the system and the system monitor to enter
the power-managed mode automatically. Refer to "Power management" on
page 62 for more information.

System-low-power states

The power management feature of the Network Station provides three
low-power states for the system: suspend, soft-off, and power-off. The system
enters these states after the delay time has elapsed. Refer to "Power
management" on page 62 for information concerning the configuration of the
system's power management feature.
v Suspend: After a period of inactivity, the system enters the standby state.
When a key is pressed or the mouse is moved, the monitor resumes normal
operation and restores the screen image. See "Power management" on
page 34 for more details.
v Soft-off: This state occurs if the period of inactivity continues in the
suspend state. You cannot resume an application after exiting the system
soft-off state. The system will restart, and re-establish communications with
the server. This is a configurable setting in the BIOS setup utility, and the
default value is for the system to remain on. The system will not
automatically enter this power-managed state if the default setting is intact.
The monitor screen remains blank, and the monitor's power indicator light
is similar to the standby state. The System LED will not operate in soft-off.
This is an indication of the system's power state. To exit soft-off, press the
white power button.
v Power-off state: This state only occurs by setting the power supply switch
that is located at the back of the Network Station. This severs the system's
network connection. The power supply switch must be on in order to exit
this power state.
The default settings for the Network Station's delay times are 30 minutes for
the suspend state, and 1 hour for the monitor power-off state. Refer to "Power
management" on page 34 for information regarding Network Station default
settings.

Monitor low-power states

The power management feature of the Network Station provides three
low-power states for the monitor: standby, suspend, and power-off. The
monitor switches to the defined state after the delay time has elapsed. After
this time has elapsed, the Network Station will switch to one of the three
low-power states.
