Power Management Setup
ACPI Function
This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management
Interface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as Windows 98SE/
2000/ME, select [Enabled]. Settings: [Enabled] and [Disabled].
ACPI Standby State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system
supports ACPI, such as Windows 98SE, Windows ME and Windows 2000, you can
choose to enter the Standby mode in S1 (POS) or S3 (STR) fashion through the setting
of this field. Options are:
[S1(POS)]The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system
context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system
context.
[S3(STR)] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the information
of system configuration and open applications/files is saved to
main memory that remains powered while most other hardware
components turn off to save energy. The information stored in
memory will be used to restore the system when a “wake up”
event occurs.
[Auto] BIOS determines the best setting automatically.
Re-Call VGA BIOS at S3 Resuming
When ACPI Standby State is set to [S3(STR)], users can select the options in this
field. Selecting [Yes] allows BIOS to call VGABIOS to initialize the VGA card when
system wakes up (resumes) from S3 sleep state. The system resume time is short-
ened when you disable the function, but system will need an AGP driver to initialize the
VGA card. Therefore, if the AGP driver of the card does not support the initialization
feature, the display may work abnormally or not function after resuming from S3.
Options: [Auto], [Yes], [No].
Suspend Time Out (Minute)
If system activity is not detected for the length of time specified in this field, all devices
