Power Management commands
PowerPanel™ also provides power management commands that you can use to
activate specific power management functions and to control power for a specific
device. You can use these commands to override a profile setting or initiate an
immediate action.
Conserving battery power
When using the computer with a battery, the LCD display and the hard disk drive
can be set to switch off automatically to conserve battery power.
See “Power Management profiles” for more information.

Description
Standby
Puts the system into Standby mode, a power management state that
saves the state of the system and peripheral devices in memory
(RAM). Power consumption reduces to a minimum, and the system
remains on. To return the system to the active state, press any key or
the power button on your computer.
Hibernate
Provides for the lowest level of power consumption. The system
writes the state of the system and peripheral devices to the hard disk
drive and turns off the system power. To return the system to the
original state, use the power button to turn on power. The system
saves the data in the Save to Disk Partition on the hard disk drive.
LCD (Video) Standby
Turns off the video display to save power. If you turn off the Video
Standby timer, the display remains active except when the system
enters Standby mode. The video display system is one of the largest
consumers of power in the system.
