Acer 710 사용자 설명서

This computer has a built-in heuristic power management 
unit that monitors system activity.  System activity refers to 
any activity involving one or more of the following devices: 
keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, hard disk, peripherals 
connected to the serial and parallel ports, and video 
memory.  If no activity is detected for a period of time (called 
an inactivity time-out), the computer stops some or all of 
these devices in order to conserve energy.

This computer employs an innovative power management 
technique called Heuristic Power Management or HPM.  
HPM allows the computer to provide maximum power 
conservation and maximum performance at the same time.

Power management methods used by most computers are 
timer-based.  You set inactivity time-out values for the 
display, hard disk, and other devices.  The computer then 
"sleeps" when these time-outs elapse.  The problem with 
this is that no two users are alike.  Each of us has his or her 
own habits when using the computer, which makes timer-
based power management ineffective.

With HPM, your computer manages its power according to 
the way you use your computer.  This means the computer 
delivers maximum power when you need it, and saves 
power when you don’t need the maximum — all without 
your intervention.  There are no timers to set, because the 
HPM system figures out everything for you.
