Power Management
Power management is implemented at several levels, including:
• Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
• Hardware support:
— Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC technology)
— Power connectors
— Fan connectors
— Resume on Ring
— Wake from USB
— Wake from PS/2 keyboard/mouse
— PME# wakeup support
Software Support through ACPI
The Advance Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)–aware operating system can place the
system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is
halted. In this state, the power supply is still on and the processors still dissipate some power, so
the power supply fan and processor fans are still running.
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The
operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and
knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be
turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the
system as a whole into a low-power state.
