Chapter 3: Power Management
Overview
To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer uses the ACPI
power management system. Power management conserves power by controlling in-
dividual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole
system. This chapter covers:
• The Power Sources
• Turning on the Computer
• Power Schemes
• System Power Options
• Configuring the Power Button
• Battery Information
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
The ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving techniques
and gives the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states
of devices and processors. For example, it enables the OS to set devices into low-
power states based on user settings and information from applications. ACPI is fully
supported in
Windows XP .
OS Note
Power management
functions will vary slight-
ly depending on your
operating system. For
more information it is
best to refer to the user’s
manual of your operat-
ing system.
