Power Management Setup
Use these items to control system power management. Modern operating systems take care of much of the
power management. This mainboard supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
ACPI
This mainboard supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power management Interface). Use this item to
enable or disable the ACPI feature. The default setting is Enabled.
NOTE
ACPI is a power management specification that makes hardware status
information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to
turn its peripherals on and off for improved power management. It also
allows the PC to be turned on and off by external devices, so that mouse
or keyboard activity wakes up the machine.

ACPI Suspend Type
Use this item to define how the 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 a suspend to RAM - the system shuts down
with the exception of a refresh current to the system memory. The default setting is S1(POS).
Power Management
This item acts like a master switch f or the power-saving modes and hard disk timeouts. If this item is set to
Max Saving, power-saving modes occur after a short timeout. If this item is set to Min Saving, power-saving
modes occur after a longer timeout. If the item is set to User Define, you can define timeouts for the power-
saving modes. The default setting is User Define.
Video Off Method
This item defines how the video is powered down to save power. The default setting is DPMS.
Video Off In Suspend
This option defines if the video is powered down when the system is put into suspend mode. The default
setting is Yes.
