Power savings strategies

IBM Endpoint Manager Power Management includes a number of strategies for saving power. The following list includes some common power saving strategies, though it is not comprehensive.

• Enable Monitor Standby Monitors represent a significant portion of power usage for desktops and laptops. Enabling Monitor Standby has minimal end-user impact because most monitors recover quickly from low power mode. Monitor Standby can be easily combined with the System Standby or Power-off strategies below. Use the Power Profile Wizard to change monitor standby policies.
• Enable System Standby As computers use very low power in standby mode, System Standby is considered the best approach to power management. Users must wake computers with a mouse click or keyboard strike before using them, but most computers wake from standby within 10 seconds.
• Power-off Computers You can power off computers at predefined times to save electricity. Powering off computers has the most end user impact, as this method can potentially cause work to be lost.
