2.3.2 Power Management Mode Definitions
Each system (or model) may have different PM model and state definition. For clear, see the following table:
PM Mode Definitions
Full-On The CPU runs in full speed and all the devices are power on. The system can respond to all
applications with maximum performance.
1.
2.
3.
Idle This mode is similar to Full-On except the CPU will change to C1 or C2 state depend on the OS, to
save CPU power consumption.
1.
2.
3.
Suspend The state is more power saving than above, the CPU will change to C3 state and most of power
consumption parts will enter to suspend or idle mode.
1.
2.
3.
SOFF/STD The state is the most power saving mode, all of the parts in the system will power off, except the
keyboard controller enter to idle mode continuously to control the battery charging and monitor power

2.
When system in suspend mode (S3 state ), external keyboard/mouse and touch pad can't be awake up
event source.
2.3.3The backlight control of LCD
The LCD panel is another key part that will consume more power of the notebook system, so there is a way to reduce the
power consumption on battery only, e.i. reduce the brightness of backlight when end-user plug out the AC adaptor.
The backlight is controled through the KBC controller, and it is divided into 5 levels from darkest to brightest. The KBC
bios know the status of power source and the current backlight's brightness any time. When the AC adaptor plug out, the KBC
will reduce the brightness one or two level automatically.
There is another approach to control the backlight, it will be turn off when LCD cover close(LID
switch), conversly, it will be turn on when LCD cover open
2.3.4CMOS Setup Menu
The setup function only can be invoked by pressing F2 key during POST that provide a approach to change some setting and
configuration the user prefer, and the changed values will save in the battery backup RAM of CMOS RTC and will take effect
after the system rebooted. The setup uses a menu interface to allow the user to configure their system and the features are briefly
listed as follow
