Using BIOS
Power Management Setup
This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-
saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending to
RAM, and software power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed by
certain events.
If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can be resumed by a
wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, or
a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock.
The power-saving modes can be controlled by time-outs. If the system is inactive for a time,
the time-outs begin counting. If the inactivity continues so that the time-out period elapses,
the system enters a power-saving mode. If any item in the list of Reload Global Timer
Events is Enabled, then any activity on that item will reset the time-out counters to zero.

ACPI Suspend Type (S3(STR))
Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default, S1 (POS), the suspend
mode is equivalent to a software power down. If you select S3 (STR), the suspend mode
is suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh current
to the system memory.
