Using Power Management
The Notebook system provides you with various modes to manage
its power consumption while maintaining system performance.
Please refer to Chapter 3: BIOS Utilities, System Configuration
Utility, Power Menu for more information.
Advanced Power Management (APM 1.2)
The Notebook provides built-in Advanced Power Management
(APM 1.2) support to reduce power consumption. The functionality
of APM varies depending on the operating system you are using.
Some operating systems do not support APM, such as
Windows NT, and therefore, cannot take advantage of the
system's capabilities in this area.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI)
The ACPI interface gives the operating system (OS) direct control
over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a
computer.
The operating system can perform the functions
covered by the ACPI specification, such as system power
management, device power management, thermal management.
