8.3 Windows OS Interface
Device Presence
ADLINK's system BIOS fully supports the BattMan Smart Battery Reference System and
reports the presence of a Smart Battery device to the OS. In Windows, the battery power
subsystem information is listed in the Device Manager under the "Batteries" category. The
system BIOS will check the current system configuration and then report back to the OS.
There are three possibilities for the battery report information.
No battery power subsystem present
The system BIOS checks for the presence of a charger, selector or system manager. If there
is no device attached, it will only report the presence of an AC adapter to the OS.
BattMan module present
If the BattMan module is present in the system, the system BIOS will report an AC adapter
and two battery devices to the OS.
