Power Saving Options

Overview

Power Saving Options in zMan Director allow administrators to configure sleep and power-saving behavior for managed zTC endpoints.

These settings help reduce power usage and support consistent endpoint behavior across managed devices.


Power Saving Configuration

Power saving settings may be used to control how a zTC device behaves when it is idle or inactive.

Depending on device firmware and deployment configuration, power saving behavior may include sleep-related or low-power behavior for managed endpoints.


Endpoint Power Behavior

Power Saving Options should be considered alongside other power-related settings in zMan Director, including:

  • Power Management
  • Power Schedule
  • Shutdown
  • Reboot
  • Suspend

Together, these settings help administrators manage device availability and power usage.


Applying Power Saving Options

Power Saving Options may be applied to:

  • Individual zTC devices
  • Groups of zTC devices

Administrators should verify that the selected settings match the intended endpoint usage pattern before applying them broadly.


Common Use Cases

Power Saving Options may be used to:

  • Reduce endpoint power usage
  • Standardize sleep behavior across devices
  • Support after-hours power policies
  • Improve consistency across shared or managed workstations

Notes

  • Power saving behavior may depend on device firmware, hardware support, and deployment configuration.
  • Sleep or suspend behavior should be tested before broad deployment.
  • Wake behavior may depend on Wake on LAN, Wake on USB, and related Power Management settings.
  • Some power-related changes may not take effect until the device refreshes settings or reconnects through zDM.
