Putting a Computer to Sleep

Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) can put client computers to sleep. This has the same result as choosing the Sleep command on the client: the display sleeps, the hard disks spin down, and the computer's central processor and network interface are put in a low-power mode.

Although you can put computers to sleep via AirPort, you will not be able to wake them using ARD.

1. Select a computer list.
2. Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3. Choose Manage > Sleep.
4. Click Sleep.
