Using Standby Mode

n
Standby mode
Standby is a power-saving mode. When the system
goes into Standby mode, it automatically turns power
off to individual system components after a preset
period of system inactivity. If you do not use the
components, such as your keyboard, mouse, or drives,
for the preset time, your screen goes blank and the
system goes into a power-saving mode of operation.
n
Suspend mode
Suspend mode is a power-saving mode. In Suspend
mode, the system turns off power to all possible system
devices. The system saves data and system status
before it shuts off power.
The following sections describe how to use Standby and
Suspend power management modes.
In Setup, you can enable or disable the Standby mode to
start automatically. You can also set the period of
inactivity to initiate the component to power off. This
period of activity is the "timeout" parameter in Setup.
When in Standby mode, the power lamp on the front panel
lights amber. Standby mode returns to a Full-Power On
mode of operation when you press a key or move the
mouse or when there is system activity through an I/O
port.
See "Power Menu" in Chapter 2 for information about
setting the Standby parameters.
