4.6. Power Management Setup
Power Management Setup controls the mainboard’s “Green” features.
Selecting “Power Management Setup” on the main program screen
displays this menu:
ACPI Function: When set to “Enabled,” turns on the ACPI Function.
The default setting is “Enabled.”
Note: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a power
management specification that makes hardware status informa-
tion available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn
its peripherals on and off for improved power man-agement. It
also allows the PC to be turned on and off by external devices, so
that mouse or keyboard activity wakes up the computer.
ACPI Suspend Type: Use this item to define how your system suspends.
If set to S1(POS) (default), the suspend mode is equivalent to a software
power down. If set to S3(STR), the suspend mode is a suspend to RAM
the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh current to the
system memory.
