Power Management Options in Windows XP

The Microsoft Windows XP power management features can reduce the

amount of electricity your computer uses when it is on and you are not using

it. You can reduce power to just the monitor or the hard drive, or you can use

standby mode or hibernate mode to reduce power to the entire computer.

When the computer exits from a power conservation mode, it returns to the

operating state it was in prior to entering the mode.

NOTE: Windows XP Professional includes security and networking features not

available in Windows XP Home Edition. When a Windows XP Professional

computer is connected to a network, different options related to security and

networking appear in certain windows.

NOTE: The procedures to activate the standby and hibernate modes may vary

according to your operating system.

Standby Mode

Standby mode conserves power by turning off the display and the hard drive

after a designated period of time, known as a time-out. When the computer

exits from standby mode, it returns to the operating state it was in prior to

entering standby mode.

NOTICE: If your computer loses power while in standby mode, it may lose data.
