Power Management profiles
The PowerPanel™ utility provides several predefined power management
profiles. Each profile consists of a group of power management settings that are
designed to meet specific power management goals — ranging from maximum
power management to no power management. You can change the settings for
any of the predefined profiles (except for the Disable Power Management
profile), or you can create your own profile to suit your portable computing
needs. The predefined profiles are:
