Power Management
Your system comes with Advanced Power Management (APM) and
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). Included as a
subset to ACPI is Instantly Available Technology.
APM features Soft Power Off, which automatically powers down your
system when you exit Windows 98 or Windows 2000 (not available for
Windows NT). This feature is enabled or disabled through your system’s
BIOS (see Chapter 3, “Configuring the System,” for Power Management
BIOS settings).
