Power management
Your computer features a built-in power management unit that constantly monitors
system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or more of the
following devices: keyboard, touchpad/mouse, floppy disk drive, 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 maximum 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.
