7.3.3 Power Management
These systems include power management functions designed to conserve energy. These
functions are provided by a combination of hardware, firmware (BIOS) and software. The
system provides the following power management support:
■ ACPI v2.0 compliant (ACPI modes C1, S1, and S3-S5)
■ APM 1.2 compliant
■ U.S. EPA Energy Star 3.0 and 4.0 compliant
Table 7-6 shows the comparison in power states.
NOTES:
Gn = Global state.
Sn = Sleep state.
Cn = ACPI state.
Dn = PCI state.
[1] Power cord is disconnected for this condition.
[2] Actual transition time dependent on OS and/or application software.
