Power Management
Your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows
you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving.
With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows Vista/XP,
power supply to different computer components is controlled on an
as-needed basis. This allows maximum power conservation and
performance at the same time.
In general, Windows’ power management works in this way:
What... When...
