2-6 Setting Up the System
Power-Saving Operation
If the system is running the Windows 95 or Windows 98
operating system, you can put it in Sleep mode — a power-
saving state — by pressing the sleep button on the front of
your unit. This is a convenient way of conserving energy
when you are going to be away from your system for a short
period of time.
The system also goes into Sleep mode when the system has
been inactive, if the power management has been enabled in
BIOS, and an inactivity timeout has been enabled.
!
CAUTION
The sleep button is next to the power button.
Take care not to press the power button when
you put the system in sleep mode. If you
accidentally press the power button, you can lose
any data that has not been saved.
When the system goes into Sleep mode, it saves data and
system status and then shuts off power to all possible
components. Sleep mode lets you save power without first
saving your work.
The sleep button lights when the system is in Sleep mode.
Press the sleep button, press a key, or move the mouse to
resume system operation where you left off.
Sleep mode provides several levels power management.
Levels include:
Doze mode
Standby mode
Suspend mode.
