Power Management Setup - MSI 661FM Series User Manual

Power Management Setup

ACPI Function
This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Manage-
ment Interface) function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as
Windows 98SE/2000/ME, select Enabled. Available options: Enabled, Disabled.
Sleep State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. Options are:
S1/POS
S3/STR
Power Management
This item is used to select the degree (or type) of power saving and is related to
the mode: Suspend Mode. There are three options for power management:
Min Saving Minimum Power Management. Suspend Mode = 1 Hour.
Max Saving Maximum Power Management. Suspend Mode = 1 Min.
User Define Allows end users to configure the Suspend Mode field.
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.
The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the
information 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.
