Managing Power 3-7
Power Management
Your Tablet PC supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) for power management. The power management feature
allows you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving.
With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows, power supply
to different Tablet PC components is controlled on an as-needed basis.
This allows maximum power conservation and performance at the same
time.
In general, Windows’ power management works in this way:
What...
When...
Power to the hard disk is turned
off
When the hard disk has been idle for a
set period.
Power to the display is turned off
When the display has been idle for a
set period.
The Tablet PC enters the Sleep
mode. The hard disk and display
are turned off and the entire
system consumes less power.
When the entire system has been idle
for a set period.
When you manually activate the
mode.
The Tablet PC enters the
Hibernation mode. (See the next
subsection for more information.)
When the entire system has been idle
for a set period.
When you manually activate the
mode.
