Power Menu

Use the Power menu to control some power saving functions in your system.

Note that the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) controls most
power management functions of Versa L320 systems running the Windows 98 SE or
Windows 2000 operating system. In Windows 98 SE, ACPI is configured through the
Power Management Properties dialog box. In Windows 2000, ACPI is controlled
through the Power Options Properties dialog box.

For details about ACPI power management, see the section, “Managing System
Power,” later in this chapter.

See the following information on using the Power menu to balance high performance
and energy conservation in your system.
