Note: ACPI is a power management specification that
makes hardware status information available to the
operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn its pe-
ripherals on and off for improved power
management. It also allows the PC to be turned on
and off by external devices, so that mouse or
keyboard activity wakes up the computer.
ACPI Suspend Type (S1(POS))
Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the de-
fault, S1(POS), the suspend mode is equivalent to a software
power down. If you select S3 (STR), the suspend mode is a
suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the excep-
tion of a refresh current to the system memory.
Power Management Option (User Define)
This item acts like a master switch for the power-saving
modes and hard disk timeouts. If this item is set to Max Sav-
ing, power-saving modes occur after a short timeout. If this
item is set to Min Saving, power-saving modes occur a fter a
longer timeout. If the item is set to User Define, you can insert
your own timeouts for the power-saving modes.
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 re-
sume the system from a power-saving mode, use this item to
specify the interrupt request line (IRQ) that is used by the mo-
dem. You might have to connect the fax/modem to the
mainboard Wake On Modem connector for this feature to work.
