Managing Your System

The power-management features supported by your system are described in 
the following sections.

When you turn off your computer by following the Windows shutdown 
procedure or pressing the power button, a small amount of power (less than 
5 watts) still runs to the wakeup circuitry on the system board. In this soft-off 
state, your computer can still respond to an incoming signal from the modem 
or to certain LAN commands.

To remove all power from your computer, turn off the computer and unplug 
the power cord. When you plug the power cord back in, the network 
connection LEDs may flash and the fan may start before you press the power 
button. This is normal.

Suspend is a power-management feature that can reduce power by shutting 
down the hard drive and reducing or turning off power to the monitor. When 
the system is in Suspend, it appears to be off. The computer’s power LED turns 
amber and the monitor goes dark, indicating that the system has entered 
Suspend. However, some wakeup events can bring the system out of Suspend.

When you resume from Suspend, the system returns to the state it was in 
without going through the normal startup routine.
