Power Management

Your system comes with Advanced Power Management (APM) and
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). Included as a
subset to ACPI is Instantly Available Technology.

APM features Soft Power Off, which automatically powers down your
system when you exit Windows 98 or Windows 2000 (not available for
Windows NT). This feature is enabled or disabled through your system’s
BIOS (see Chapter 3, “Configuring the System,” for Power Management
BIOS settings).

Instantly Available Technology features the ACPI sleep mode which
maximizes power savings. When in the sleep mode, your system appears
to be off. The power supply and fans are off and the power lamp is amber.
Pressing a key or moving the mouse instantly wakes up your system and
returns it to where you were before placing the system in the sleep mode.
This feature is enabled or disabled by setting jumpers on the system board
(see Chapter 3, “Configuring the System” for information on setting
system board jumpers).
