Advanced Power Management CAUTION 3 The HP Setup Program Understanding the SETUP Program Power Menu Items Power management enables you to reduce the PC's power consumption when you are not using it. The following two power management modes are supported in Windows 3.11 and Windows 95: • Standby Mode, which significantly reduces power consumption. In this mode, the display is suspended. The system remains fully working, but runs slower. Any user event, such as from the mouse or keyboard, will instantly cause the system to resume. • Suspend Mode (Sleep Mode), which reduces power consumption to a minimum. Graphics, the processor, and hard disks (IDE and SCSI) are stopped (placed in their respective off modes). While the system is in this mode, the modem will still operate and the PC can receive faxes. A key press will cause the system to resume to full mode within a few seconds. Windows 95 supports a third mode, Shut Off Monitor. Refer to your operating system documentation for detailed information about how to implement power management. Some network operating system may inadvertently disconnect your PC while it is in Suspend mode. Some other software applications may also not be compatible with Suspend mode. In case of network disconnects in Suspend mode, try using Stand-by mode. If you still get disconnects, disable power management. English 55

Power management enables you to reduce the PC’s power consumption
when you are not using it.
The following two power management modes are supported in
Windows 3.11 and Windows 95:
•
Standby Mode, which significantly reduces power consumption. In
this mode, the display is suspended. The system remains fully
working, but runs slower. Any user event, such as from the mouse or
keyboard, will instantly cause the system to resume.
•
Suspend Mode (Sleep Mode), which reduces power consumption to
a minimum. Graphics, the processor, and hard disks (IDE and SCSI)
are stopped (placed in their respective off modes). While the system
is in this mode, the modem will still operate and the PC can receive
faxes. A key press will cause the system to resume to full mode
within a few seconds.
Windows 95 supports a third mode, Shut Off Monitor.
Refer to your operating system documentation for detailed information
about how to implement power management.
CAUTION
Some network operating system may inadvertently disconnect your PC
while it is in Suspend mode. Some other software applications may also
not be compatible with Suspend mode. In case of network disconnects
in Suspend mode, try using Stand-by mode. If you still get disconnects,
disable power management.
