Windows NT Power Management States
Windows NT uses different levels or states of power management. These power
management states occur automatically, based on your system’s default settings, or
manually, when invoked. Settings are configured to occur while on battery power or on
AC power.
The Windows NT power management states include:
!
Standby — manages power at the lowest level by shutting down the LCD, hard disk
drive, and CPU.
!
Suspend — also known as Save-to-RAM (STR), Suspend mode manages power by
saving your current working environment to memory and shutting down most
system devices. Conserves more power than Standby mode.
