Power management

glishEn

This computer has a built in power management unit that monitors 

system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or 

more of the following devices: keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, hard 

disk, or any connected peripherals. If no activity is detected for a 

period of time (called an inactivity timeout), the computer stops some 

or all of these devices in order to conserve energy.

This computer employs a power management scheme that supports 

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), which allows for 

maximum power conservation and maximum performance at the same 

time. Windows handles all power saving chores for your computer.
