Do not use emergency shutdown while data is being written; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data. 26 Getting Started Power Management Modes The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation on demand. Sleep and Hibernate Power management settings can be found in the Windows > Control Panel > Power Options.
