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/XP, 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, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP, 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 main
tains all system context.
[S3/STR] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the infor
mation 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 informa
tion stored in memory will be used to restore the system
when a “wake up” event occurs.
[Auto] BIOS determines the best setting automatically.
MSI Reminds You...
S3-related functions described in this section are available only when
your BIOS supports S3 sleep mode.
