BIOS Setup
ACPI function
This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Manage-
ment Interface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as
W indows 98SE/2000/ME, select [Enabled].
ACPI Standby State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operat-
ing system supports ACPI, such as W indows 98SE, W indows ME and W in-
dows 2000, you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1 (POS) or S3
(STR) fashion through the setting of this field. Setting options:
[S1(POS)]
The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no
system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware main
tains all system context.
[S3(STR)]
The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the infor
mation of system configuration and open applications/files is
saved to main memory that remains powered while most
other hardware components turn off to save energy. The
information stored in memory will be used to restore the
system when a
“
wake up
”
event occurs.
Suspend Time Out (M inute)
If system activity is not detected for the length of time specified in this field, all
devices except CPU will be shut off.
