Power management
Energy conservation is an important concern. Your computer has Advanced Power
Management (APM) and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
features that allow you to set different levels of energy conservation for specific
components of your computer. You can view and change APM and ACPI settings
using the Configuration/Setup Utility program or the Windows 95 control panel.

Ease-of-use features
The system board in your computer is designed to make upgrading and servicing
your computer easier. Cable connections for standard devices are located on the
riser card. This arrangement helps to eliminate cable tangle and clutter on the
system board, allows shorter cables, and makes it easier to remove the system board
or to upgrade external options. In addition, the system board is on a sliding
mechanism so that you can slide the system board in and out of the computer
frame.
Support for Plug and Play technology is built into the system board of your
computer. This feature makes adding options easier. When you add an adapter
that is Plug and Play-compatible, the adapter is configured automatically. In most
cases, no switches or jumpers have to be set on the adapter.
