This item is used to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) Function. If
your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as Windows 2000/SP, select [Enabled].
ACPI Standby State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system supports ACPI, such as

setting of this field. Settings are:
[S1]
The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context
is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system context.
[S3]
The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the information of
system configuration and open application/files is saved to main memory
that remains powered while most other hardware components turn off to
save energy. The information is stored in memory will be used to restore
the system when a “wake up” event occurs.

off.
