ACPI Suspend Type (S3(STR))
Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default, S3 (STR), the suspend
mode is a suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh
current to the system memory.
Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume (Auto)
This item allows the system to initialize the VGA BIOS from S3 (Suspend to RAM) sleep
state.
Power Management (Min Saving)
Use this item to enable or disable a power management scheme. If you enable power
management, you can use the items below to set the power management operation.
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.
MODEM Use IRQ (3)
If you want an incoming call on a modem to automatically resume the system from a power-
saving mode, use this item to specify the interrupt request line (IRQ) that is used by the
modem. You might have to connect the fax/modem to the motherboard Wake On Modem
connector for this feature to work.
Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN (Instant-Off)
Under ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power management Interface) you can create a
software power down. In a software power down, the system can be resumed by Wake Up
Alarms. This item lets you install a software power down that is controlled by the power
button on your system. If the item is set to Instant-Off, then the power button causes a
software power down. If the item is set to Delay 4 Sec. then you have to hold the power
button down for four seconds to cause a software power down.
Resume by PCI PME (Enabled)
This item specifies whether the system will be awakened from power saving modes
when activity or input signal of the specified hardware peripheral or component is
detected.
Resume by RING (Disabled)
An input signal on the serial Ring Indicator (RI) line (in other words, an incoming call on the
modem) awakens the system from a soft off state.
Resume by USB (S3) (Disabled)
This option allows the activity of the USB devices (keyboard and mouse) to wake-up the
system from S3 sleep state.
Resume by Alarm (Disabled)
When set to Enabled, additional fields become available and you can set the date (day of the
month), hour, minute and second to turn on your system. When set to 0 (zero) for the day
of the month, the alarm will power on your system every day at the specified time.
