Power Management Setup

The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state,
no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hard-
ware maintains all system context.
The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the
in formation of system configuration and open appli-
cations/files is saved to main memory that remains
powered while most other hardware components turn
off to save energy. The information stored in memory
will be used to restore the system when a "wake up"
event occurs.
This selection will cause the system to turn off the
vertical and horizontal synchronization ports and write
blanks to the video buffer.
This option only writes blanks to the video buffer.
