Efficient power management helps in saving energy of your system. A desktop/laptop’s power management functions can be controlled by setting a power policy in SapphireIMS. Functions like hard disk turn off time, monitor turn off time, system stand by time and laptop hibernation can be managed.
The power policy created in ‘How to Configure Power Management Policy’ section can be applied to one/multiple systems. To apply the power policy, follow the steps given below.
1. On the SapphireIMS menu, point to ‘IT Automation’, and click ’Power Management’
2. Host Selection: From ‘Choose Hosts’ section, click ‘Criteria’ and select as desired. The options displayed in ‘Criteria’ list box are as explained below.
All- This includes all the nodes in the network

Domain /Organization Unit/Operating Systems/Baseline Compliant Nodes – This allows you to select hosts belonging to the desired domain/Organization Unit/having the desired operating system/satisfying the baseline compliant nodes rule.
3. Once the host selection is complete click ‘Next’
