3-5 Power Management Setup

This section provides information on the Green PC power management functions.
By choosing the Power Management Setup option from the Standard CMOS Features
menu (Figure 3-1), the screen below is displayed. This sample screen contains the
manufacturer's default values for the mainboard

A. Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI)

ACPI management enables the operating system to control the amount of power
given to each device attached to the computer. With ACPI, the operating system
can turn off peripherals devices, such as CD-ROM players, when they are not
in use.

B. Power Management

Power management allows the computer to save electricity when it is not in use
by entering increasingly deep power saving modes as shown by the diagram
below.
