Power Management Setup
ACPI Function
This item defines the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Man-
agement) feature that makes hardware status information available to
the operating system, enables a PC to turn its peripherals on or off for
improving the power management, and allows a PC turned on or off by
external devices, so that a mouse or keyboard can wake up it.
ACPI Suspend Type
This item allows you to select sleep state when suspend. In the default,
S1(POS), the suspend mode is equivalent to a software power down;
S3(STR), to the system that shuts down with the exception of a refresh
current to the system memory.
Ø
The choice: S1(POS), S3(STR), or S1&S3.
Power Management
This item acts like a master switch for the power-saving modes and hard
disk timeouts. If this item is set to Max Saving, power-saving modes
occur after a short timeout. If it is set to Min Saving, power-saving
modes occur after a longer timeout. If it is set to User Define, you can
insert your own timeouts for the power-saving modes.
Ø
The choice: Min Saving, Max Saving or User Define.
Video Off Method
This determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked.
V/H SYNC+Blank This selection will cause the system to turn off
the vertical and horizontal synchronization
ports and write blanks to the video buffer.
Blank Screen
The item only writes blanks to the video buffer.
DPMS Support
Initial display power management signaling.
Ø
The choice: V/H SYNC+Blank, Blank Screen, or DPMS Support.
The Power Management Setup allows you to configure your system to
most effectively saving energy while operating in a manner consistent
with your own style of computer use.
