2.4.5 Configuring Power Management
The Power Management module lets you manage your system’s power-saving options. It is
especially useful for extending the life of a laptop’s battery charge. However, several options also
help to save electricity when you are using a computer that is plugged in to an electricity source.
Click Computer > Control Center > System > Power Management .
Specifying Sleep Mode Times
Sleep mode shuts down the computer when it is unused for a specified amount of time. Whether you
are using battery or AC power, you can specify the amount of time that the computer remains
unused before it is put to sleep.You can also put the computer’s display to sleep without shutting
down the computer, saving the power required by the display.
Sleep mode is especially important when the computer is operating under battery power. Both the
screen and the computer draw power from the battery, so you can save a significant amount of
battery power by shutting down one or both. It is common to put the display to sleep after a shorter
period of time. Then, if the computer remains unused for an additional amount of time, it is also put
to sleep.
