ACPI is the thing in your computer that lets your computer go to sleep, and controls actions such as device power on and power off (and of course, as mentioned before, sleep...)

ACPI stands for:
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface

Its not a device on its own, its pretty much built into your motherboard... moreover part of the BIOS...

It means you've got an ordinary standard normal PC.
