Audio

The computer comes with 16-bit high-fidelity AC’97 stereo audio. The 
built-in dual stereo speakers are easy to access.

There are audio ports on the rear panel of the computer. See “Rear 
view” on page 7 for more information on external audio devices.

Power management

This computer 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, 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), 
the computer stops some or all of these devices in order to conserve 
energy.

This computer employs a power management scheme that supports 
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), which allows for 
maximum power conservation and maximum performance at the same 
time. Windows handles all power-saving chores for your computer.
