+Introduction
+============
+*OpenLMI Power Management Provider* allows to manage power states of
+the managed system. Key functionality is ability to reboot, power off, suspend
+and hibernate managed system.
+
+This provider is based on following `DMTF <http://dmtf.org>`_ standard:
+
+* `DSP1027 - Power State Management Profile <http://dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP1027_2.0.0.pdf>`_
+
+The knowledge of this standard is not necessary, but it can help a lot.
+
+Application developers should first get familiar with :ref:`Power Management API concepts <concepts>`
+and then look at :ref:`usage of OpenLMI Power Management <usage>`.
