The Power Management™ software that is integrated with your Solaris Operating System improves the energy efficiency of your workstation. Internal subsystems enter a low-power mode after a specified period of inactivity (the default period is 30 minutes). Power is returned to subsystems on an as-needed basis.

While in low-power mode, your workstation retains network-awareness and responds to network traffic. After responding to the network traffic, the subsystems re-enter low-power mode after the specified period of inactivity. For details and information on how to change the power management settings on your workstation, refer to the “Solaris User Collection” document, Using Power Management (see “Solaris Documentation” on page 20).

The power-indicator LED in the center of the front panel Power button has three states that indicate the power status of the workstation, as described in

TABLE 2-2Power-Indicator LED Status

LED Activity	Meaning
LED off	System power is off or the workstation is booting up.
LED blinking	All internal subsystems are in the lowest possible power
	consumption mode for this workstation.
	Note: Some hardware components and software drivers do not
	support the workstation’s lowest possible power consumption
	mode. When this occurs, the power indicator LED does not blink.
LED on	Full power is on in one or more of the internal subsystems and the
	system self-test has completed successfully.
