Power Management Setup - MSI Fuzzy 945GME1 Series Hardware User Manual

Power Management Setup

ACPI Suspend Type
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operat-
ing system supports ACPI, such as Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows
2000 and Windows XP, you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1 (POS)
or S3 (STR) fashion through the setting of this field. Options are:
[S1/POS] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no
system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware main
tains all system context.
[S3/STR] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the infor
mation of system configuration and open applications/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.
