1.7.1.2 Terminology Examples for Design Guides
The following provides an example of how a client platform design guide, whose goal is to require
robust configuration and power management for the system class, could use the recommended
terminology to define ACPI requirements.
Note: This example is provided as a guideline for how ACPI terminology can be used. It should not be
interpreted as a statement of ACPI requirements.
Platforms compliant with this platform design guide must implement the following ACPI defined system features,
concepts, and interfaces, along with their associated event models:
