RC2 Build 5744. Sleep mode will put the monitor and drives to sleep but it
will not shut down the fans. Is that how it is supposed to be? If not what
can I do to shut down the fans as well, other than turning the computer off.
Thank you

When I use the Sleep option, everything turns off.

Have a look in the BIOS and make sure that under power settings, it is set
to S3 and not S1.

Changed the BIOS setting to S3 unfortunately that made the computer restart
when attempting to enter sleep mode. Seems there is a problem in this
box...somewhere. In any case thank you very much,Paul, for trying.
