Power Management Setup

Power Management Setup Menu

ACPI function (Default: Enabled)

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, Windows2000 or WindowsXP). The available setting values are: Enabled and Disabled.

ACPI Suspend Type (Default: S1(POS))

This option is used to set the energy saving mode of the ACPI function. When you select “S1 (P0S)” mode, the power will not shut off and the 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.

Power Management (Default: User Define)

This option is used to set the power management scheme. Available settings are: User Define, Min Saving and Max Saving.

Suspend Mode (Default: Disabled)

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.
