ACPI
Short for Advanced Configuration & Power
Interface,a power management specification
developed by Intel, Microsoft,and Toshiba.
ACPI, which will be part of the Windows 98
operating system, enables the operating system
to control the amount of power given to each
device attached to the computer. With ACPI,
the operating system can turn off peripheral

the ACPI 1.0 standard,and will be able to take
advantage of this functionality in Windows 98.
ACPI support is enabled in the BIOS set-up
utility as described in Section Three of this
guide. (See pages 87-88).
