Re-Call VGA BIOS at S3 Resuming
Selecting Enabled allows BIOS to call VGA BIOS 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 AGP
driver to initialize the VGA card. Therefore, if the AGP driver of the card
does not support the initialization feature, the display may work abnormally
or not function after resuming from S3.
Power Management/APM
Setting to Enabled will activate an Advanced Power Management (APM)
device to enhance Max Saving mode and stop CPU internal clock. Settings:
Disabled, Enabled.
Suspend Time Out (Minute)
After the selected period of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU shut
off. Settings: Disabled, 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60.
Power Button Function
This feature sets the function of the power button. Settings are:
On/Off
Suspend
Restore on AC/Power Loss
This setting specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or

Last State
The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in
formation 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.
BIOS determines the best mode automatically.
The power button functions as normal power off button.
When you press the power button, the computer enters
the suspend/sleep mode, but if the button is pressed for
more than four seconds, the computer is turned off.
Leaves the computer in the power off state.
Leaves the computer in the power on state.
Restores the system to the previous status before power
failure or interrupt occurred.
