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:
