Advanced Power Management
Power management enables you to reduce the PC's power consumption when you are not
using it.
The following two power management modes are supported in Windows 3.11 and Windows 95:
•
Standby Mode, which significantly reduces power consumption. In this mode, the display
is suspended. The system remains fully working, but runs slower. Any user event, such as
from the mouse or keyboard, will instantly cause the system to resume.
•
Sleep Mode, which reduces power consumption to a minimum. Graphics, the processor,
and hard disks (IDE and SCSI) are stopped (placed in their respective off modes). While
the system is in this mode, the modem will still operate and the PC can receive faxes. A
key press will cause the system to resume to full mode within a few seconds.
Windows 95 supports a third mode, Shut Off Monitor.
Refer to your operating system documentation for detailed information about how to implement
power management.
The following table explains the individual items in the Power group (there are no submenus).
