Power Management Setup - ECS 845PE-A800 Manual

Power Management Setup

This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-
saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending to
RAM, and software power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed by
certain events.
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inactive for a
time, the timeouts begin counting. If the inactivity continues so that the timeout period
elapses, the system enters a power-saving mode. If any item in the list of Reload Global
Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on that item will reset the timeout counters to
zero.
If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can be resumed by a
wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a LAN card, a PCI card,
or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock

ACPI Function (Enabled)
This motherboard supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power management Inter-
face). Use this item to enable or disable the ACPI feature.
ACPI is a power management specification that makes hardware status
information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn
its peripherals 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 default, S1 (POS), the suspend
mode is equivalent to a software power down. If you select S3 (STR), the suspend mode is
suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh current to the
system memory.
