- [ 4. Advanced Power Management]
- EMBEDDED BIOS APM - ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Embedded BIOS supports the Intel/Microsoft Advanced Power Management
- services, enabling it to manage power in power-sensitive applications
- that are battery-operated, mobile or hand-held.
-
- The Advanced Power Management functionality in Embedded BIOS is extended
- to special hardware that supports it, including CPUs and chipsets, via
- the General Software CPU Personality Module and Chipset Personality
- Module architecture.
-
- The integrated APM can be controlled from a power management SETUP
- screen that provides the user with the ability to perform device-level
- timeouts for OEM-specified devices, for both standby and suspend
- operations.
-
- The core BIOS has device-level power management built right in, so
- there is no need to add custom power management code to the core.
