Abstract
A method and apparatus for power management in a computer system is provided. A first power management signal is asserted, to indicate entry into a power management mode. An internal power management signal is generated, the internal power management signal being distinct from the first power management signal. The internal power management signal signals that a primary power connection is not stable. The primary power connection to the computer system is disconnected. The computer system is in said power management mode when the primary power connection is disconnected and the internal power management signal is asserted.
