7.3.3 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 support:

■ACPI v2.0 compliant (ACPI modes C1, S1, and S3-S5, )

■APM 1.2 compliant

■U.S. EPA Energy Star 3.0 and 4.0 compliant

Table 7-6 shows the comparison in power states.
