Power Management Options in Windows XP
The Microsoft Windows XP power management features can reduce the amount of electricity your computer uses when it is on and you are not using it. You
can reduce power to just the monitor or the hard drive, or you can use standby mode or hibernate mode to reduce power to the entire computer. When the
computer exits from a power conservation mode, it returns to the operating state it was in prior to entering the mode.
NOTE: Windows XP Professional includes security and networking features not available in Windows XP Home Edition. When a Windows XP Professional
computer is connected to a network, different options related to security and networking appear in certain windows.
NOTE: The procedures to activate the standby and hibernate modes may vary according to your operating system.

Standby Mode

Standby mode conserves power by turning off the display and the hard drive after a designated period of time, known as a time-out. When the computer exits
from standby mode, it returns to the operating state it was in prior to entering standby mode.
NOTICE: If your computer loses power while in standby mode, it may lose data.
To set standby mode to automatically activate after a defined period of inactivity:
1. Click Start and click Control Panel.
2. Under Pick a category, click Performance and Maintenance.
3. Under or pick a Control Panel icon, click Power Options.
To immediately activate standby mode without a period of inactivity, click Start® Turn Off Computer® Stand by.
To exit from standby mode, press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse.

Hibernate Mode

Hibernate mode conserves power by copying system data to a reserved area on the hard drive, and then completely turning off the computer. When the
computer exits from hibernate mode, the desktop is restored to the state it was in prior to entering hibernate mode.
To activate hibernate mode:
1. Click Start and click Control Panel.
2. Under Pick a category, click Performance and Maintenance.
