9.1 Instant Boot
9.1.1 Introduction
Instant Boot, a user-friendly tool that allows you to turn on your PC in just a few
seconds, provides a much more efficient way to save energy, time, money, and
improves the system’s running speed *. It is applicable to Windows
®
7 / 7 64-bit
/ XP / XP 64-bit.
Instant Boot leverages the S3 and S4 ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) features which normally enable the Sleep/Standby and Hibernation
modes in Windows
®
to shorten boot time. By calling S3 and S4 at specific times
during the shutdown and startup process, Instant Boot allows you to enter your
Windows
®
desktop in a few seconds.
There are two modes of Instant Boot available: Fast Mode and Regular Mode.
In Fast Mode, it uses S3 and takes only a few seconds for the OS to resume
to working state, which is 10 times faster than the traditional boot time (50 to
60 seconds). Even the Regular Mode is 3 times faster than the traditional boot
time.
Instant Boot guarantees a clean Windows
®
boot to consume less power, time
and money without any accumulated garbage data, and you can still keep your
data safe even when the power is cut off. Also, Windows
®
update speed will
become faster.
* This function is applicable ONLY to individuals that do not secure ID and Password to their
systems.
* The boot time depends on hardware configuration.
