Power Management
Your Joybook 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.
•
Power to the hard disk is turned off when the hard disk has been idle for a set
period.
•
Power to the display is turned off when the display has been idle for a set period.
•
When you press Fn+F12, close the cover, press the Power button or when the
entire system has been idle for a set period, the Joybook enters Standby or
Hibernation mode. The hard disk and display are turned off and the entire sys-
tem consumes less power.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows Help.
Hibernation
Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many applications
when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these applications open and
running, and normally they all have to be closed before the system can be turned
off.
When you use the Hibernation feature, you do not have to close the applications.
The Joybook stores the state of your operation to a file on the hard disk and then
shut down. The next time you turn on your Joybook, you return to exactly where
you left off.
