2.7 Power Management Setup

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)]
[Auto]
The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this
state, no system context (CPU or chipset) is lost and
hardware main tains 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 infor
mation stored in memory will beused to restore the
PC to the previous state when an "wake up" event
occurs.
BIOS determines the mode automatically.
