Your computer includes features that lower the power usage of

the microprocessor and other components when the system has
been inactive for a selected period of time. Using the SETUP
program, you can customize inactivity timers for three
power-saving modes: Doze, Standby, and Suspend. Each of the
three modes provides progressively increased levels of power

conservation.

You can also customize an individual Standby timer for the

hard disk drive. If you have an Energy Star compliant monitor,

your computer places the monitor in power-saving modes too.

See “Using the Green PC Features” in Chapter 2 for

information on customizing these options.

The power-saving operations performed by your computer in
each of the power-saving modes are summarized in the table

below.

Standby

(disabled by

default)

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)

Suspend

The processor clock stops, the hard disk drive(s) power

down, and the monitor screen goes blank (the monitor

is placed in a low power consumption mode only if it is

Energy Star compliant)

Some processors do not support power-saving modes; in

these cases only the hard disk drive and monitor can take

advantage of your green PC features.
