Power Management Setup - NEC VERSA LXI - VERSION 02-2000 Manual

Power Management Setup

If your Versa LXi system ships with the Windows 98 operating system, the Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) controls most power management functions
through the Power Management Properties screen in Windows. For details about ACPI
power management, see the section, "Managing System Power," later in this chapter.
The BIOS Power Management Setup screen is described next. Please note that the
following definitions apply in the Windows 95 environments and that some do not
apply under Windows 98 with ACPI, as noted. Use SystemSoft's PowerProfiler to
manage power in the Windows NT environment. Access the PowerProfiler icon on the
Windows NT taskbar.
Use the Power Management Setup to balance high performance and energy
conservation.
