Description

OS Power
Management

Runtime Power Management— Enable/Disable. Allows certain operating systems to reduce
processor voltage and frequency when the current software load does not require the full
capabilities of the processor.

Idle Power Savings—Extended/Normal. Allows certain operating systems to decrease the
processors power consumption when the processor is idle.

ACPI S3 Hard Disk Reset—Enabling this causes the BIOS to ensure hard disks are ready to
accept commands after resuming from S3 before returning control to the operating system.

indication of what sleep state the system is in. Each sleep state has a unique blink pattern.

repeated cycles of 4 blinks and a pause.

If this feature is disabled, S4 and S5 both have the LED off. S1 (no longer supported)

and S3 use 1 blink per second.
