Power Management Setup
ACPI Function (Default: Enabled)
ACPI stands for “Advanced Configuration and Power Interface”. ACPI is a
standard that defines power and configuration management interfaces
between an operating system and the BIOS. In other words, it is a standard
that describes how computer components work together to manage
system hardware. In order to use this function the ACPI specification must be
supported by the OS (for example, Windows2000 or WindowsXP). The
available setting values are: Enabled and Disabled.
ACPI Suspend Type (Default: S1 (POS))
This option is used to set the energy saving mode of the ACPI function.
When you select “S1 (POS)” mode, the power will not shut off and the power
supply status will remain as it is. In S1 mode the computer can be resumed
at any time. When you select “S3 (STR)” mode, the power will be cut off after
a delay period. The status of the computer before it enters STR will be saved in
memory, and the computer can quickly return to previous status when the STR
function wakes. When you select “S1 & S3” mode, the system will automatically
select the delay time.
Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume (Default: Auto)
This option allows the system to initialize the VGABIOS from S3 (Suspend to
RAM) sleep state when you select “S3 (STR)” mode in the above option. The
available setting values are: Auto, Yes and No.
Power Management (Default: User Define)
This option is used to set the power management scheme. Available setting
values are: User Define, Min Saving, and Max Saving.
