ACPI Function (Enabled)
This mainboard supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power management Interface). Use this item to enable or dis-
able the ACPI feature.
Note: ACPI is a power management specification that
makes hardware status information available to the
operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn its
peripherals on and off for improved power man-
agement. It also allows the PC to be turned on and
off by external devices, so that mouse or keyboard
activity wakes up the computer.
ACPI Suspend Type (S1 (POS))
Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the de-
fault, 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 - the system shuts down with the exception
of a refresh current to the system memory.
Power Management Option (User Define)
This item acts like a master switch for the power-saving
modes and hard disk timeouts. If this item is set to Max Sav-
ing, power-saving modes occur after a short timeout. If this
item is set to Min Saving, power-saving modes occur after a
longer timeout. If the item is set to User Define, you can insert
your own timeouts for the power-saving modes.
Video Off Method (DPMS)
This item defines how the video is powered down to save
power. This item is set to DPMS (Display Power Management
Software) by default.
Video Off In Suspend (Yes)
This option defines if the video is powered down when the
system is put into suspend mode.
Suspend Type (Stop Grant)
If this item is set to the default Stop Grant, the CPU will go
into Idle Mode during power saving mode.
