status of power management, and set levels of power conservation.
Discussion
Before you can use the POWER command you must use the DEVICE command
in your CONFIG.SYS file to install the POWER.EXE device driver. If
you enter the POWER command by itself on the command line, a status
report will be displayed.
Options
adv[:max|reg|min] - Use this option if you want to conserve power
when applications and hardware devices are idle. Use MAX for maximum
power conservation. Use REG, to balance power conservation with
application and device performance. Use MIN if the performance of an
application or device is not satisfactory when you specify MAX or
REG. The default is REG.
std - If your computer supports the Advanced Power Management (APM)
specification, STD conserves power by using only the
power-management features of your computer's hardware. If your
computer does not support the APM specification, STD turns off
power.
off - Turns off power management.
