Î ACPI Mode
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Under Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI
ACPI enables the direct control by the operating system over the power management and Plug
and Play functions of a computer. ACPI requires an ACPI-aware operating system, such as
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, and later.
ACPI features include:
• Plug and Play and Advanced Power Management (APM) functionality as here
contained in the BIOS Setup Utility.
• Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in
boards may require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives.
• Features that enables a system to be held in a power-saving mode consuming
less than 30-watt computer operation in the Power On Suspend sleeping state,
and less than five-watt operation in the Suspend to Disk sleeping state.
• A soft-off feature that enables the operating system to turn off the computer.
