Suspend Mode
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating
system supports ACPI, 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)]
[S3 (STR)]
[Auto]
Repost Video on S3 Resume
Selecting [Yes] allows BIOS to call VGABIOS to initialize the VGA card when
system wakes up (resumes) from S3 sleep state. The system resume time is
shortened when you disable the function, but system will need an video
driver to initialize the graphics card. Therefore, if the video driver of the card
does not support the initialization feature, the display may work abnormally or
not function after resuming from S3.
Advanced ACPI Configuration
ACPI Version Features
This setting allows you to select the ACPI version.
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
information 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.
