7 POWER MANAGEMENT
The TP400 includes sophisticated power management hardware and software, which
allows the power consumption of the TP400 to be reduced at times when the full
performance of the board is not required. This can extend battery life in battery-
operated systems and allow for cooler operation, and thus greater product reliability.
The BIOS can manage power autonomously, without intervention from higher levels
of software. It is also compliant with the Advanced Power Management (APM)
specification, version 1.2, which can allow APM-aware applications and operating
systems to influence the power management of the TP400.
The BIOS work to support power management has not been completed at the time of
writing. Later BIOSes will support power management.
