Understanding Power Management
- Power management allows displays and computers (CPU, hard drive, etc.) to enter low-power states when idle.
- Inactive displays with power management enabled enter low-power modes by turning off monitor output, potentially saving $10 to $30 (USD) per monitor annually.
- Low power modes in inactive computers can reduce power consumption or spin down the hard disk, potentially saving $15 to $45 (USD) per desktop computer annually.
- The power management feature is enabled by default.
- Sleep is a power-saving state allowing quick resumption of full-power operation (typically within seconds).
- Hibernation is a power-saving state primarily for laptops, using the least power among Windows power-saving states.
- Hybrid sleep, designed for desktops, combines sleep and hibernate. When enabled, putting the computer to sleep also puts it into hybrid sleep. This is typically enabled by default on desktop computers.
- The display automatically enters sleep mode after 10 minutes of user inactivity.
- The computer automatically enters sleep mode after 30 minutes of user inactivity.
- To wake the computer, click the mouse, press the power button, or press any key on the keyboard.
- For Windows systems, Notebook Computers will enter hibernation after 360 minutes.
- Users can adjust the duration before the computer sleeps or hibernates. Refer to the operating system's user manual or website for details.
- The lowest power state has the minimum power demand. This state can be entered or left manually or automatically.
- The idle state occurs when the operating system and software have loaded, a user profile is created, the computer is not in sleep mode, and activity is limited to default startup applications.
