Power Management
Each computer system is Energy Star compliant and
incorporates power management features. These features
lower power consumption when there is no activity
detected from the keyboard, mouse, diskette drive, or hard
disk drive after a predefined period of time. As soon as
activity is detected the system resumes where it left off.

suspend mode. To do so can damage your hard disk
or data.
You can manually initiate a power-saving mode instantly

mode. A green system unit power lamp indicates that
the system is in a Full-Power On mode.
