Using Standby Mode
In Setup, you can enable or disable the Standby mode to
start automatically. You can also set the period of inactivity
to initiate the component to power off. This period of
activity is the “timeout” parameter in Setup.
A component that goes into Standby mode returns to a Full-
Power On mode of operation when you press a key or move
the mouse or when there is system activity through an I/O
port.
See “Power Menu” in Chapter 2 for information about
setting the Standby parameters.
Using 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.
You can initiate Suspend mode in two ways:
■
Manually by pressing the suspend button. Pressing the
suspend button is a convenient way of conserving energy
when you are going to be away from your system for a
short period of time.
■
Automatically by setting the Suspend timeout in Setup.
The Suspend timeout is the period of system inactivity
required after Standby mode to Suspend mode.
Press a key or move the mouse to wake up the system and
resume system operation. System power and system status
returns to where you left it.
An amber system unit power lamp indicates that the system
is in a Suspend or Sleep mode of operation.
