BIOS CONTROLLED PERIPHERAL DEVICE PORT POWER

摘要

A computing device (101, 400, 500) has a processor (401) and at least one peripheral device port (106, 107, 108, 109, 410-1 to 410-5). The processor (401) is configured to selectively power the at least one peripheral device port (106, 107, 108, 109, 410-1 to 410-5) when the processor (401) is in a sleep state (302, 303, 304, 305, 306) according to at least one setting stored by firmware (405) of the processor (401).
