Power Management Setup
The Power Management Setup allows you to configure your system to
most effectively saving energy while operating in a manner consistent
with your own style of computer use.
ACPI Function
This item allows you to enable the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Management) feature.
Note: ACPI is a power management specification that makes hard-
ware status information available to the operating system. ACPI
enables a PC to turn its peripherals on or off for improving the
power management. It also allows a PC to be turned on or off
by external devices, so that a mouse or keyboard can wake up
the computer.
ACPI Suspend Type
This item allows you to select sleep state when suspend. 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. i.e., the
system shuts down with the exception of a refresh current to the system
memory.
Ø
The choice: S1(POS), S3(STR), or S1&S3.
