Figure 28.3 Configuring a Scheme
First, enter a suitable name and description for the new or edited scheme. Determine if
and how the CPU performance should be controlled for this scheme. Decide if and to
what extent frequency scaling and throttling should be used and whether processes with
low priority (niced processes) should be ignored when adjusting the CPU frequency.
In the following dialog for the hard disk, define a Standby Policy for maximum perfor-
mance or for energy saving. The Acoustic Policy controls the noise level of the hard
disk (supported by few hard disks). The Cooling Policy determines the cooling method
to use. Unfortunately, this type of thermal control is rarely supported by the BIOS.

Global power management settings can also be made from the initial dialog using Battery
Warning, ACPI Settings, or Suspend Permissions. Access these controls by clicking
Other Settings and selecting the appropriate item from the menu. Click Battery Warning
to access the dialog for the battery charge level, shown in Figure 28.4, "Battery Charge
