Error! Bookmark not defined. Using Power Management
Your PC supports a power management system that complies with the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. This means that your PC uses less than 30
Watts of power when not in use and power management is enabled. Two power
management modes are supported:
•
Standby mode, which can be set to occur after a specified time of inactivity, reduces
power consumption to 27 Watts by blanking the display. The PC returns to normal
operation as soon as any key on the keyboard is pressed.
•
Sleep mode, which can be set to occur at a specific time, reduces power consumption
to 22 Watts by blanking the display, and switching off the hard disk drive and processor.
The PC returns to normal operation up to 15 seconds after any key on the keyboard is
pressed.
The PC will also be awoken from Standby Mode by peripheral devices, such as a fax or
modem, being activated.
NOTE If your PC is on a Novell network, the Sleep Mode option will disconnect you from
the network.
