After configuring the power button to function as a suspend button, press the power button to put the system in a very low power state (suspend). Press the button again to quickly bring the system out of suspend to full power status. To completely turn off all power to the system, press and hold the power button for four seconds.

NOTE: If you have selected the Blink LED during Energy Save option in Computer Setup, the power-on light will blink once every two seconds while the workstation is in suspend. See the “Using Computer Setup” section in Chapter 2 of this guide for more information.

Power Management

Use the Timeouts option under the Power menu in Computer Setup to enable, customize, or disable standby timeouts. This feature shuts down certain components of the workstation when they are not in use, saving energy without having to shut down the workstation.

NOTE: When using a power-managed system, disable monitor timeouts in Computer Setup first, then establish the settings in the operating system to avoid potential conflicts.

Use Display Properties to establish, modify, or disable Power Management settings for the monitor. To access Display Properties, right-click on the Windows Desktop, then choose Properties.

Advanced Configuration and Power

Interfaces (ACPI) Capable

ACPI defines a hardware interface that allows a standard way to integrate power management features throughout the workstation system, including hardware, operating system, and application software. This enables the workstation to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard drives, and printers. With the ACPI technology, peripherals will also be able to activate the workstation. For example, the simple act of inserting a CD-ROM will turn on the workstation and activate a monitor.
