Advanced Power Management

Your PC supports a power management system which complies with the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star program. Power management enables you to reduce the PC’s power consumption when you are not using it.

Two power management modes are supported in Windows 3.11:

•Standby Mode, which significantly reduces power consumption

•Sleep Mode, which reduces power consumption to a minimum.

Windows 95 supports a third mode, Shut Off Monitor.

Use the Power icon from the Windows control panel in Program Manager.

•Standby Mode

Use the Display icon in the Control Panel (Click on Start and then Settings).

•Shut Off Monitor mode

Use the Display icon in the Control Panel.

•Suspend Mode

Use the Power icon in the Control Panel to configure Suspend Mode. Click on Suspend on the Start menu to activate Suspend Mode. This mode is similar to Sleep Mode in Windows 3.11.

If your PC is on a Novell® network, Suspend Mode will disconnect you from the network. Some other software applications are also not compatible with Suspend mode.
