Power Management features (Basic)

Using power-saving states

The system provides the two power-saving states: Sleep and
Hibernation.

When Sleep is initiated, the power lights blink and the screen clears.
Your working task is saved to memory. Exiting Sleep is faster than
exiting Hibernation. If the system is in the Sleep state for an extra
period or if the battery reaches a critical battery level while in the
Sleep state, the system initiates Hibernation.

When Hibernation is initiated, your work is saved to a hibernation file
on the hard drive and the system turns off.

vi

Embedded Controller AEC-6635

Initiating and exiting Sleep

The system set the Sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity when
running on external power. You can change to none Sleep mode if the
system needs to be active at all time. The default power management
settings have been selected for compliance with ENERGY STAR
and are recommended by the ENERGY STAR

®

program for optimal

®

,

energy savings.

Using power plans

You can choose your own power plan which is a collection of system
settings that manages how the system uses power. Power plans can
help you conserve power or maximize performance.
