ACPI stands for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface". It replaces old IBM APM, Plug'n'Play and OS2APIC.PSD. ACPI is a part of every modern computer. ACPI stores full detailed info about computer in one place, thus simplifies the development of OS and drivers.


ACPI influenced on eComStation very much
