This space could be a spare bedroom that you use for the occasional guest or for storing unused clutter. Attempting to put a system into an unsupported state results in the next lowest supported state being chosen.If you are lacking space in your home, consider creating a multi-purpose room by combining a home office/ guest room to host overnight guests. It is not unusual for just S1 and S4 to be supported or S1, S3 and S4. Note that not all computer systems will support all power states. To turn off or reboot the computer, see the Rebooter application also available from PassMark. Sleeper allows the user to put the system into sleep state S1, S2, S3 or S4. Lower states consume more power, but have a smaller latency on wake up.

A full reboot will be required to start up the system.ĪCPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is an industry wide standard that defines a power management and configuration mechanism for hardware and operating systems. Wake up usually results in hardware boot, but not software boot. For a hibernate, the operating system context is saved out to disk and no longer exists in RAM. Mouse movement or key presses will usually wake the system. The lower the level, the more power that is conserved, but the longer it takes for the system to wake. Power consumption is reduced to one of the three sleep levels (see below). The system seems as though it’s shut down. Some devices may independently conserve power if their usage falls below a certain threshold. Most modern computer systems support at least the following basic power states.

With laptops and wireless computing on the rise it is especially important to have strict control and reliability when it comes to your systems power states. Power management is an integral feature of most new computers. Sleep, standby & hibernation background information
