Frequently Asked Questions C-5
Power Management
Does my system come with power management
features enabled?
Yes, your system comes with power management
features enabled. Your system manages its power
resources using the Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI). ACPI power management settings are
controlled through the Windows Power Options
Properties.
See “Windows Power Management” in Chapter 4 for a
description of power management settings. Also, see
the Windows documentation for detailed information
about managing power.
What is the purpose of Standby mode?
You can initiate a Standby mode (full Suspend-to-
RAM) by accessing Start, Turn Off Computer, Stand
By. This places the system in a deeper state of “sleep”
and requires that you press the power button to resume
operation.
Putting your system into Standby initiates the Standby
power-saving mode and is a convenient way of
conserving energy when you are going to be away from
your system for a short period of time.
What is the function of Hibernation mode?
Hibernation (Suspend-to-File) provides the greatest
power savings by putting the system into a maximum
power shutdown.
