3-24 Intelligent Manageability Power Management Use the Timeouts option under the Power menu in Computer Setup to enable, customize, or disable standby timeouts. This feature shuts down certain components of the workstation when they are not in use, saving energy without having to shut down the workstation. NOTE: When using a power-managed system, disable monitor timeouts in Computer Setup first, then establish the settings in the operating system, to avoid potential conflicts. Use Display Properties to establish, modify, or disable Power Management settings for the monitor. To access Display Properties, right-click on the Windows Desktop, then choose Properties. Advanced Configuration and Power Interfaces (ACPI) Capable ACPI defines a hardware interface that allows a standard way to integrate power management features throughout the workstation system, including hardware, operating system, and application software. This enables the workstation to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard drives, and printers. With the ACPI technology, peripherals will also be able to activate the workstation. For example, the simple act of inserting a CD-ROM will turn on the workstation and activate a monitor. Since the Compaq Professional Workstation AP200 ships standard with the ACPI hardware, you will be able to utilize ACPI features once future ACPIenabled Microsoft operating systems become available. When the new Microsoft operating systems are released, you will need to upgrade the ROM BIOS, driver, and operating system in order to take advantage of the ACPI features.

Power Management
Use the Timeouts option under the Power menu in Computer Setup to enable,
customize, or disable standby timeouts. This feature shuts down certain
components of the workstation when they are not in use, saving energy without
having to shut down the workstation.
NOTE
:
When using a power-managed system, disable monitor timeouts in
Computer Setup first, then establish the settings in the operating system, to
avoid potential conflicts.
Use Display Properties to establish, modify, or disable Power Management
settings for the monitor. To access Display Properties, right-click on the
Windows Desktop, then choose Properties.
Advanced Configuration and Power
Interfaces (ACPI) Capable
ACPI defines a hardware interface that allows a standard way to integrate
power management features throughout the workstation system, including
hardware, operating system, and application software. This enables the
workstation to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs,
network cards, hard drives, and printers. With the ACPI technology,
peripherals will also be able to activate the workstation. For example, the
simple act of inserting a CD-ROM will turn on the workstation and activate a
monitor.
Since the Compaq Professional Workstation AP200 ships standard with the
ACPI hardware, you will be able to utilize ACPI features once future ACPI-
enabled Microsoft operating systems become available. When the new
Microsoft operating systems are released, you will need to upgrade the ROM
BIOS, driver, and operating system in order to take advantage of the ACPI
features.
