and sets levels of power conservation.

Syntax

    POWER [ADV[:MAX|REG|MIN]|STD|OFF]

To display the current power setting, use the following syntax:

    POWER

Parameters

ADV[:MAX|REG|MIN]|STD|OFF

    ADV[:MAX|REG|MIN]
        Conserves power when applications and hardware devices are idle. In
        some cases, performance may be affected if an application is active
        instead of idle. Use MAX for maximum power conservation. Use REG,
        the default setting, 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.

    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
        management.

    OFF
        Turns off power management.


* Note

  You must use the <DEVICE> command in your CONFIG.SYS file to install
  the <POWER.EXE> device driver before you can use the POWER command.
