notebook includes the CPU throttling, monitor power management and the hard disk.

4.6.4.1 CPU power management

• ACPI mode

The operating system detects when the system is idle and places the CPU in one of

the 3 CPU low power states (C1, C2, C3 up to C6) depending on how much latency it

believes the system can afford.

The C1 state is simply the CPU halt instruction.

The C2 state is the CPU stop grant state.

The C3 state is the CPU stops clock state.

The CPU stays in this state until an interrupt occurs.

4.6.4.2 Hard Disk

The operating system uses the spin down timer of the hard drive to set time-outs.

The BIOS time-out of the hard disk must be disabled in ACPI mode. The user can

sets the hard disk spin down time-out in the control panel power applet.
