MSI Reminds You...
S3-related functions described in this section are available only
when your BIOS supports S3 sleep mode.
ACPI Standby State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating
system supports ACPI, such as W indows 98SE, W indows ME and W indows 2000,
you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1(POS) or S3(STR) fashion through
the setting of this field. Options are:
[S1 (POS)]
The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state,
no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hard-
ware maintains all system context.
[S3 (STR)]
The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the
in formation of system configuration and open appli-
cations/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.
