IV. Suspend to RAM Installation
A.1 Introduce STR function:
Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When
recovering from STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few
seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep and
recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM) before the
system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only
enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions,
primarily the system state and the ability to recognize various “wake up”
triggers or signals, respectively.
A.2 STR function installation
Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.
Step-By-Step Setup
