# Configure Power Management

Use the **Power Management** settings of a role to reduce energy costs. The SysTrack agent monitors when each system is active or idle, and puts the system into hibernate or sleep mode during idle periods. To see the power schedule of a system, use the [Power Schedule Tool](/documentation/docs/power-schedule-tool) in Resolve.

There are two factors that determine if a system should be on or off.

- A calculated schedule
- A set of conditions is met for the given power saving mode

## Configure Power Management Settings

1. Go to **Configure** > **System Configuration** > **Roles**.
2. Click the lock icon in the upper-right corner to unlock Configure for editing.
3. Select the role.
4. From the **Additional Settings** list, select **Power Management**.
5. Select **Automated Power Management Enabled**. It is cleared by default.
