POWER MANAGEMENT
Does my system come with power management features enabled?
Yes, your system comes with power management features enabled. If you do not
use the keyboard, mouse, or drives for the preset length of inactive time, your screen
goes blank and your system goes into a power saving mode of operation. This is known
as Standby mode.
When your screen goes blank, before the system goes into Suspend mode, just press the
space bar or move your mouse to reactivate your system.
What is the purpose of the Suspend button?
You can initiate full Suspend mode by pressing the Suspend/Resume button.
This places the system in a deeper state of "sleep" and requires that you press the Sus-
pend/Resume button again to bring it back to Active mode.
Pressing the Suspend button initiates the Suspend power-saving mode. Pressing the sus-
pend button is a convenient way of conserving energy when you are going to be away
from your system for short period of time.
What is the function of Suspend mode?
Suspend mode provides the greatest power savings by putting the system in a
maximum power shutdown. When the system goes into Suspend mode, it saves data and
system status and then shuts off power to all possible components. Suspend mode lets
you save power without first saving your work.
