1.14.1.1  System States and Power States 
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions.  The 
operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and 
knowledge of how devices are being used by applications.  Devices that are not being used can be 
turned off.  The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the 
system as a whole into a low-power state.
