Power management

Your computer features built-in power management that constantly
monitors system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving
one or more of the following devices: keyboard, touchpad/mouse,
hard disk drive, optical drive, peripherals connected to the computer,
and video memory. If no activity is detected for a period of time (the
settings are controlled in Windows Power Management), the computer
turns off some, or all, of these devices in order to conserve power.
Your computer employs a power management scheme that supports
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), enabling maxi-
mum power conservation without compromising system performance.
ACPI allows Windows to control the amount of power given to each
device attached to the computer. In this way, Windows handles all
power-saving chores for your computer. Refer to Windows Help for
more information.
