See “Setting Power Management Options” in Chapter 2 for
information on setting up these options. The power-saving
operations performed by your computer in each of the
power-saving modes are summarized in the table below.

Power-saving operations
The processor slows down
The processor speed slows further and the monitor
screen goes blank (the monitor is placed in a low
power consumption mode only if it is Energy Star
compliant); also, the hard disk drive shuts down (if you
enabled the
IDE Drive Power Down option)
The processor clock stops, the contents of system
memory are saved, and power to all system
components stops
Note
Some processors do not support power-saving modes; in
these cases only the hard disk drive and monitor can take
advantage of the power-saving feature.
To resume activity when your system is in a power-saving
mode, press a key or move the mouse. If your system was in
Doze or Sleep mode, you immediately see an image on the
monitor, and you can access your system right away.
