D-2 Sun Blade 1500 Service, Diagnostics, and Troubleshooting Manual • December 2004
Before configuring power management, consider the role the Sun Blade 1500
workstation plays:
■ Is it acting as a server? If so, use only minimal power management or none at all.
■ Is it used as a remote host for after hours work? If so, consider the autoshutdown
times.
■ Is it used in a multiple user environment? If so, weigh the idle time against the
expected demand.
D.2 Enabling Power Management
1. As superuser, open a terminal window and type the following command:
The Dtpower window is displayed on your screen.
2. From the Current Power Saving Scheme pulldown menu, select *Customized*,
Minimal, or Standard.
■ If you selected Minimal or Standard, click OK.
The application exits and you are finished.
■ If you selected *Customized* or would like to customize a minimal or standard
mode, click More.
The window expands. Continue with the remaining steps.
3. Select the Device Idle Time Before Power Saving Starts time.
“15 Min” means that after 15 minutes of inactivity, both the display and the drives
go to a low-power mode, regardless of the time of day. “Always On” disables power
management.
