Power Saving Type
There are several types of sleeping states within the general sleep
state. This option allows you to choose how “asleep” you want your
system to be. In deeper sleep modes, more energy is saved. However,
upon waking up, the system must “reorient” itself, and reestablish
control over the system’s sleeping components. The settings are POS,
Sleep, Stop Clock, and Deep Sleep. POS is the lightest sleep mode;
Deep Sleep is the heaviest. The Optimal and Fail-safe default settings
are POS.
