Battery Status Page
. .
. .
The Battery Status feature shows the position of multiple battery locations in the computer. If a
. .
. .
battery is present in a given location, the status (high, low, critical, charging) and a percentage of
. .
charge remaining for that battery is shown. The Multiple Battery Status provides a critical value-
. .
. .
add for Compaq customers, allowing the ability to check the status of each individual battery, in
. .
addition to the cumulative battery status.
. .
. .
. .
The Multiple Battery Status Page is not available under Windows 3.1; however, the user can
. .
invoke a multiple battery status by using FN+F8.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
. .
. .
. .
The Armada 7800 is "ACPI Hardware Ready." ACPI is dependent on having an ACPI-capable
. .
operating system. The first ACPI operating system is Microsoft Windows 98 due out later this
. .
. .
year. Until Windows 98 is available, the Armada 7800 will ship with ACPI disabled. Once
. .
Microsoft has released the finalized ACPI portion of Windows 98, Compaq will release an ACPI
. .
. .
enabling applet. The user will be able to obtain the applet from the Compaq web site, FTP site,
. .
. . BBS, or the Support Software CD. The first ACPI operating system will be Windows 98.
. .
According to the Compaq White Paper titled ACPI
. .
. .
Today, Compaq portable computers are using Advanced Power Management 1.2
. .
. .
(APM 1.2) which allows the user – mostly through F10 settings – to manage power
. .
and configuration settings. The overall concept of ACPI is to shift the Configuration
. .
. .
and Power Management functionality from OEM BIOS solutions to the operating
. .
system.
. .
. .
. .
ACPI is part of the OnNow design initiative from Microsoft. The OnNow design
. .
initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to system and device power
. .
. .
control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears off and responds
. .
immediately to user or other requests. The OnNow design initiative involves changes
