2. Sleep mode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_mode

   Sleep mode (or suspend to RAM) is a low power mode for electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and remote controlled devices. These modes save significantly on electrical consumption compared to leaving a device fully on and, upon resume, allow the user to avoid having to reissue instructions or to wait for a machine to boot .

3. Advanced Power Management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Power_Management

   APM defines five power states for the computer system: Full On: The computer is powered on, and no devices are in a power saving mode. APM Enabled: The computer is powered on, and APM is controlling device power management as needed. APM Standby: Most devices are in their low-power state, the CPU is slowed or stopped, and the system state is saved.

4. PC power management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_power_management

   PC power management refers to software-based mechanisms for controlling the power use of personal computer hardware. This is typically achieved through software that puts the hardware into the lowest power demand state available, making it an aspect of green computing .

5. ACPI - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACPI

   Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring. It was first released in ...

6. Standby power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

   Standby power, also called vampire power [1], vampire draw, phantom load, ghost load, or leaking electricity, refers to how electronic and electrical appliances consume electric power. At the same time, they are switched off (but are designed to draw some power) or in standby mode. It only occurs because some devices claim to be "switched off ...

7. Hibernation (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation_(computing)

   On the other hand, a system in sleep mode still consumes power to keep the data in the RAM, and thus cannot last indefinitely, as hibernation can. Detaching power from a system in sleep mode results in data loss, while cutting the power of a system in hibernation has no risk; the hibernated system can resume when and if the power is restored.

8. Intel Active Management Technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management...

   A part of the Intel AMT web management interface, accessible even when the computer is sleeping. Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is hardware and firmware for remote out-of-band management of select business computers, [1] [2] running on the Intel Management Engine, a microprocessor subsystem not exposed to the user, intended for monitoring, maintenance, updating, and repairing systems ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docking_station

   Mobile docking stations usually come mated to an armature, laptop desk or standard rack in order to provide the ability to position the computer in a vehicle in a safe and ergonomic position. As with all docking stations, a mobile docking station will provide the user with a means to quickly and easily dock and undock the computer.
