Power Page
Because your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
management Interface), a powerful feature of the Windows 98 operating system, the
power management for your system is controlled by the Windows OS and the items
on this page have no function. See
Chapter 3
for information on using the Windows
Power Management Properties
program.
If you install your computer with an alternative operating system that does not have
ACPI (for example Windows NT 4.0), you can use the items on this page to manage
power on your system.
PM Control
Lets you enable or disable all the power management, or have it
operate when you are using
Battery Powered Only.
