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.
