Power Management Setup
v
ACPI Function
ACPI stands for “Advanced Configuration and Power Interface”. ACPI is a
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, Windows 2000 or WindowsXP). The available
setting values are: Enabled and Disabled.
v
ACPI Suspend Type
This option is used to set the energy saving mode of the ACPI function.
When you select “S1 (POS)” mode, the power will not shut off and the power
supply status will remain as it is. In S1 mode the computer can be resumed
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 in
memory, and the computer can quickly return to previous status when the STR
function wakes. When you select “S1 & S3” mode, the system will automatically
select the delay time.
v
Power Management

values are: User Define, Min Saving, and Max Saving.
v
Suspend Mode
This option is used to set the idle time before the system enters into sleep
status. The setting values are Disabled and 1 Min-1 Hour.
