Chapter 3: Power Management
Overview
To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer power
management conserves power by controlling individual components of the
computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system. This chapter
covers:
• The Power Sources
• Turning on the Computer
• Power Plans
• Power-Saving States
• Configuring the Power Buttons
• Battery Information
The computer uses enhanced power saving techniques to give the operating
system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and
processors. For example, this enables the OS to set devices into low-power
states based on user settings and information from applications.
OS Note
Power management
functions will vary slightly
depending on your oper-
ating system. For more
information it is best to
refer to the user’s manual
of your operating system.
