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). | 01-19-2012 |

20120124596 | DEVICE DRIVER FOR A DEVICE - A device including an interface component configured to couple the device to a computing machine, a storage component configured to store a device driver for the device, and a driver application executed from the storage component and configured to identify the device as a storage device if a device driver has not been loaded onto the computing machine and bad the device driver onto the computing machine in response to the device coupling to the computing machine. | 05-17-2012 |
20150067373 | BIOS CONTROLLED PERIPHERAL DEVICE PORT POWER - A BIOS controlled peripheral device port power device is described. The device includes a processor and at least one peripheral device port. The processor powers up a host controller in preparation for the processor to enter a sleep state. The processor also places the processor in the sleep state after the host controller is powered up. The processor also selectively powers the at least one peripheral device port by the host controller when the processor is in the sleep state according to at least one setting stored in the processor. | 03-05-2015 |
20150143093 | PLURALITY OF INTERFACE FILES USABLE FOR ACCESS TO BIOS - A computer may comprise a processor and first storage device coupled to the processor. The first storage device contains a basic input/output system (BIOS) executable by the processor. The system may also comprise a second storage device coupled to the processor. The second storage device may contain a management interface usable by an operating system to access the BIOS. A plurality of interface files may also be provided, each interface file being usable by the management interface to access the BIOS and each interface file defining one or methods for use by the interface or BIOS. Upon execution of the BIOS, the processor is to determine a configuration of the system and, based on the determined configuration, to select a particular interface file for use during run-time. | 05-21-2015 |
