Hardware profiles configuration of notebook with IEEE 1394 PC card
You install Windows XP Professional on your portable computer. The computer is configured to use an IEEE 1394 PC card. You use the computer to download pictures from a digital camera while you are at the office. You attend a meeting every Monday. During the meeting you use a battery to supply power to your portable computer. Occasionally, the battery runs out of power during these meetings. You need to configure the computer to conserve battery power while you attend your weekly meeting without affecting your power options when you use the computer at your office. You should also Create an additional hardware profile, and disable the IEEE 1394 PC card for this profile. To ensure the optimal performance in different networking environments, we should create different hardware profiles that the users can choose from under different network environments. We do not require the IEEE 1394 PC card at the meeting therefore we should create a profile that has the IEEE 1394 PC card disabled to save the battery resources used to power this card. We can then choose this profile when he we are at the meeting.
