This section provides information on the Green PC power management functions. By

choosing the Power Management Setup option from the CMOS Setup Utility 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.
