7.2.3 Power Management

These systems include power management functions designed to conserve energy. These functions are provided by a combination of hardware, firmware (BIOS) and software. The system provides the following power management features:

ACPI v1.0b compliant (ACPI modes C1, C2, S1, and S3, )

APM 1.2 compliant

U.S. EPA Energy Star compliant

Table 7-5 shows the comparison in power states.
