Selecting the type of standby
If ACPI is enabled on your system, you can select one of two standby types
in the BIOS Setup utility. One type reduces the power consumption of the
system to 20-30 watts. The other type reduces power consumption to 10-20
watts. The more power reduction, the slower your system exits standby and
returns to a normal working state. The two standby types also respond
differently to wakeup events, such as network, modem, and USB
communication.
