Using Power Management Options 77

Using Power Management Options

Your computer includes power-management options that can help the battery
charge last longer and extend the life of the battery, LCD panel, and other
components. Power-management options slow down or shut off system
components when the components are not being used.

Power management may slow down system performance. Your computer runs
fastest with the power cord attached, when power management is disabled.

Windows 98/ Me has two Power Management strategies:

•

APM (Advanced Power Management) mode: Under APM mode, Windows
98/ Me Power management works with the settings in the Power Management
option on the Control Panel except for rest mode.

•

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) mode:
Under the ACPI mode, All the settings in System Setup have no effect on
Windows 98/ Me. Battery low and battery very low warnings are configured
using the Power Management option.

If you want to use Hibernation function in ACPI mode (Windows 98/
Me), then click Start > Settings > Control Panel and double click
Power Management icon. Select Hibernate on the When I press the
sleep button on my computer field in Advanced tap. Then you can use
the power button for activating the hibernation function.

If you want to shut down your computer by pressing the power button,
see “ACPI(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) mode” on
page 8.

If your computer uses DOS or Windows 95, Power Management works with the
settings in System Setup.

If your computer shipped from the factory with Windows NT installed,
PowerProfiler software was included to support power management.

Maximum Power Saving Mode

For maximum power saving mode, the microprocessor may run at slow speed to
conserve power. To enable this mode , set the Idle Mode field in System Setup to
enabled.
