As an OEM, you can always customize the Power Manager to do whatever you want. But the easy way to make the Power Manager run passively is to remove the AC/battery time-outs from your registry. This tells the Power Manager to allow GWES (or some other program) to decide when to change system power states. For an example of how the Power Manager determines whether to run in active or passive mode, see the implementation of PlatformPMActivelyManagesPower() in public\common\oak\drivers\pm\platform\platform.cpp. Also, make sure that you set the DisableGwesPowerOff registry value to 0 so that GWES can manage suspends for you.
