Power Management Setup - MSI MS-6380 User Manual

Power Management Setup

IPCA Function
This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Management Interface) function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware,
such as Windows 98SE/2000/ME, select Yes. Available options: Yes and No.
ACPI Standby State
This item specifies the power saving mode for ACPI function. If your
operating system supports ACPI, such as Windows 98SE, Windows ME and
Windows 2000, 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
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 power-down state in which
power is supplied only to essential components such
as main memory and wake-capable devices and all
system context is saved to main memory. The informa-
tion stored in memory will be used to restore the PC to
3-17
