Automatic Power Management for Devices

If automatic power management is enabled , then all devices with a pm-components(9P) property automatically will use power management. After a component has been idle for a default period, the component is automatically lowered to the next lowest power level. The default period is calculated by the power management framework to set the entire device to its lowest power state within the system idleness threshold.


Note - By default, automatic power management is enabled on all SPARC desktop systems first shipped after July 1, 1999. This feature is disabled by default for all other systems.
