Tip
All power supplies are not created equal
A technician needs to replace a power supply with one that provides an equal or greater
amount of power. Search the Internet for power supply reviews. A general rule of thumb is
that if two power supplies are equal in wattage, the heavier one is better because it uses a
bigger transformer, bigger heat sinks, and more quality components.
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface)
Today’s computer user needs to leave a computer on for extended periods of time in order to
receive faxes, run computer maintenance tasks, automatically answer phone calls, and down-
load software upgrades and patches. Network managers want control of computers so they can
push out software upgrades, perform backups, download software upgrades and patches, and
perform tests. Laptop users have always been plagued by power management problems, such as
short battery life, inconsistent handling of screen blanking, and screen blanking in the middle
of presentations. Such problems occurred because originally the BIOS controlled power. Power
management has changed.
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) gives the BIOS and operating system
control over various devices’ power and modes of operation, as shown in Figure 4.28.

Figure 4.28 ACPI actions
With ACPI, the user can control how the power switch operates and when power to specific
devices, such as the hard drive and monitor, is lowered. For example, the Instant On/Off BIOS
setting can control how long the power switch is held in before the power supply turns on or
off. Case temperatures, CPU temperatures, and CPU fans can be monitored. The power supply
can be adjusted for power requirements. The CPU clock can be throttled or slowed down to
keep the temperature lower and prolong the life of the CPU and reduce power requirements
especially in portable devices when activity is low or nonexistent. ACPI has various operating
states, as shown in Table 4.3.
