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 might use these commands when you 
want to override a profile setting or initiate an immediate action, such as 
putting the system into Video Standby mode before the Video Standby 
timer expires.

Communications 

– 

Extends battery life by initiating a quick display 

timeout. The Internal modem remains powered. You can also 
establish settings for LCD (Video) Standby, Hard Disk Sleep, and 
System Suspend to optimize power management for your system.

Description

System Suspend

 – Puts the system into System Suspend 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 switch on your 
computer.

System Hibernation –

 

Provides for the lowest level of power 

consumption. The system writes the state of the system and 
peripheral devices to the hard disk and turns off the system power. 
To return the system to the original state, use the power switch to 
turn on power. The system saves the data in the Save to Disk 
Partition on the hard drive.

LCD (Video) Standby 

– 

Turns off the LCD to save power. If you 

turn off the Video Standby timer, the display remains active except 
when the system enters System Suspend mode. The video display 
system is one of the largest consumers of power in the system.

Hard Disk Sleep

 – 

Turns off the hard disk spindle motor. Although 

you can manually turn off the power to the hard disk through this 
command, any system request to the hard disk turns on the power 
to the hard disk. 

Speed Controller 

- Controls the speed at which the CPU performs. 

Click this button to open the Speed Control dialog box. When you 
select the Auto checkbox, the CPU performs at full speed while the 
system is active and at 25% of full speed during periods of 
inactivity. Auto is the recommended option. You can also choose to 
run the CPU at 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% of full speed regardless of 
whether the system is active or inactive. Using this command can 
help conserve battery power.
