AC Energy Saver Tab In Windows NT, the AC Energy Saver tab allows you to turn on or off power conservation settings when connected to an electrical outlet. When AC Energy Saver is on, you can enable/disable Energy Save Monitor and set timeouts for the hard drive idle and screen save. If you enable the Energy Save Monitor feature and your external monitor is not Energy Star-compliant, the display may become distorted when the screen save timeout expires. NOTE: In Windows 95, the hard drive timeout is on the Disk Drives tab, and the Energy Save Monitor and screen timeout are in Display Properties. Hibernation Tab The factory-default Hibernation setting is low-battery, which means the system initiates Hibernation when the battery pack reaches the critical low-battery condition. If you change the setting to Hibernate on Standby (Suspend) or after a specified timeout in Suspend, that setting is in addition to Hibernation on low-battery. You can turn Hibernation off. However, it is not recommended. If Hibernation has been turned off and the computer reaches a critical low-battery condition, Suspend is initiated. If the critical low-battery condition is not resolved, unsaved information is lost when the computer shuts down. CAUTION: To prevent losing unsaved work if you have turned off Hibernation, quickly resolve a low-battery condition. You can change the drive for the Hibernation file, but the drive choices are partitions on the hard drive in the hard drive bay. The system reserves space on that drive for the Hibernation file based on the amount of system memory, so that all data in memory can be saved at Hibernation. Using Power and Power Management 4-7

AC Energy Saver Tab
In Windows NT, the AC Energy Saver tab allows you to turn on
or off power conservation settings when connected to an electrical
outlet. When AC Energy Saver is on, you can enable/disable
Energy Save Monitor and set timeouts for the hard drive idle and
screen save.
If you enable the Energy Save Monitor feature and your external
monitor is not Energy Star–compliant, the display may become
distorted when the screen save timeout expires.
NOTE:
In Windows 95, the hard drive timeout is on the Disk Drives
tab, and the Energy Save Monitor and screen timeout are in
Display Properties.
Hibernation Tab
The factory-default Hibernation setting is low-battery, which
means the system initiates Hibernation when the battery pack
reaches the critical low-battery condition. If you change the
setting to Hibernate on Standby (Suspend) or after a specified
timeout in Suspend, that setting is in addition to Hibernation on
low-battery.
You can turn Hibernation off. However, it is
not
recommended. If
Hibernation has been turned off and the computer reaches a
critical low-battery condition, Suspend is initiated. If the critical
low-battery condition is not resolved, unsaved information is lost
when the computer shuts down.
CAUTION:
To prevent losing unsaved work if you have turned off
Hibernation, quickly resolve a low-battery condition.
You can change the drive for the Hibernation file, but the drive
choices are partitions on the hard drive in the hard drive bay. The
system reserves space on that drive for the Hibernation file based
on the amount of system memory, so that all data in memory can
be saved at Hibernation.
