7.2 Power Management Utility
Power Management is a combination of hardware and software components that allows you to conserve
power when your computer is turned on but not in use. The computer can be set to go into the Energy
Saver mode after a specified period of inactivity and return to full power mode when user activity at the
keyboard or mouse is detected. Power Management is available under the Windows environment, and
some features are available under the MS-DOS environment. To take full advantage of the Power
Management features, you must be using an Energy Star monitor.
