!
A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power off the computer.
!
Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 3-6-1).
!
Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch. Table 3-6-2 describes the system states based
on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware
operating system.
Note
If you enable the ACPI function in the BIOS setup, the SMI switch function will not work.
System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating
system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and knowledge of how
devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating
system uses information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a low-power
state.
The table below describes which devices or specific events can wake the computer from specific states.

ACPI Suspend Type:
Two options are available: S1 (POS) or S3 (STR). The default setting is S1 (POS) . Generally, ACPI has
six states: System S0 state, S1 state, S2 state, S3 state, S4 state, S5 state. S1 and S3 states are described
below:
The S1 (POS) State (POS means Power On Suspend):
While the system is in the S1 sleeping state, its behavior is as described below:
