Full Power Mode & Maximum Performance
The Notebook PC operates in Full Power mode when the power management function is disabled by
configuring Windows power management and Speed Step. When the Notebook PC is operating in Full Power
Mode, the Power LED remains ON. If you are conscious of both system performance and power consumption,
select “Maximum Performance” instead of disabling all power management features.
ACPI
Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) was developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba
especially for Windows and later to control power management and Plug and Play features. ACPI is the new
standard in power management for Notebook PCs.
Note:
APM was used in older operating systems like Windows NT4 and Windows 98. Because newer operating systems like
Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows ME utilize ACPI, APM is no longer fully supported on this Notebook PC.
Suspend Mode
In “Stand by” (STR) and “Hibernation” (STD), the CPU clock is stopped and most of the Notebook PC devices
are put in their lowest active state. The suspend mode is the lowest power state of the Notebook PC. The
Notebook PC enters suspend mode when the system remains idle for a specified amount of time or manually
using the [Fn][F1] keys. The Power LED blinks when the Notebook PC is in STR mode. In STD mode, the
Notebook PC will appear to be powered OFF. Recover from STR by pressing any keyboard button (except Fn).
Recover from STD by using the power switch (just like powering ON the Notebook PC).
