Power Management - Magicbook SHB-V7S6 User Manual

Power Management

Your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows
you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving.
With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows XP, power
supply to different computer components is controlled on an as-needed
basis. This allows maximum power conservation and performance at the
same time.
In general, Windows' power management works in this way:
Power to the hard disk is turned off
Power to the display is turned off
The computer enters Standby mode.
The hard disk and display are turned
off and the entire system consumes
less power.
The computer enters Hibernation
mode. (See the next subsection for
more information.)
* Depends on your settings in Windows.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows' Help.
