standard that defines power and configuration management interfaces be-
tween an operating system and the BIOS. In other words, it is a standard that
describes how computer components work together to manage system
hardware. In order to use this function the ACPI specification must be sup-
ported by the OS (for example, Windows2000 or WindowsXP). The available
setting values are: Enabled and Disabled.

at any time. When you select “S3 (STR)” mode, the power will be cut off after
a delay period. The status of the computer before it enters STR will be saved
