Power Management

Your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows you to reduce the power consumption for saving energy.

With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows XP and Windows Vista, power supply to different computer 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:

For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help. Power management settings should not be completely disabled. Generally, users will not see significant benefit by setting hard drive shutdown times of longer than a few minutes. When ML910 RUGGED NOTEBOOK is intended for in-vehicle use, it is recommended that hard drive power down should be set to 1 minute to prevent premature wear-out of the hard-drive.

CAUTION:

Do not disable power management if the laptop will be used in extreme temperatures or high vibration environments (e.g., vehicles).

Hibernation

When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the applications and documents that are running on the computer. The computer stores the state of your computer to a file on the hard disk before shutting down. The next time you turn on your computer, you return to exactly where you left off.
