Power Management Features

To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer uses the
ACPI power management system. Power management conserves power by
3
controlling individual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk
drive) or the whole system.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface

The ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving tech-
niques and gives the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and
thermal states of devices and processors. For example, it enables the OS to set
devices into low-power states based on user settings and information from ap-
plications. ACPI is fully supported in Windows XP and Windows 2000.
