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 individual 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 (Standby and Hibernate)

• Configuring the Power Button

• Battery Information

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface

The ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving tech-

niques 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 ap-

plications. ACPI is fully supported in Windows XP.
