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 (Enabled)
This item allows you to enable the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Management ) feature.
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.
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.
