Power Management profiles

The PowerPanel utility provides several predefined power management profiles. Each profile consists of a group of power
management settings that are designed to meet specific power management goals — ranging from maximum power
management to no power management. You can change the settings for any of the predefined profiles (except for the
Disable Power Management profile), or you can create your own profile to suit your portable computing needs. The
predefined profiles are:
