Power management
Your notebook has a built-in power management unit that monitors system
activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or more of the
following devices: keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, hard disk, peripherals
connected to the serial and parallel ports, and video memory. If no activity is
detected for a period of time (called an inactivity timeout), your notebook stops
some or all of these devices in order to conserve energy.
Your notebook employs a power management scheme that supports ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) which allows for maximum
power conservation and maximum performance at the same time. Windows
handles all power-saving chores for your notebook.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is a power management
specification jointly developed by Compaq/Intel/Microsoft/Phoenix/Toshiba.
ACPI enables Windows to control the amount of power given to each device
attached to your notebook. With ACPI, Windows can turn off peripheral devices
when they are not in use, thereby saving power.
Note: We recommend you enable power management to prolong your
battery life. Refer to Windows help for more details.
