Power Management Setup

This option lets you control system power management. The system has various power-saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down that allows the system to be automatically resumed by certain events.

	power state. In this state, no system context (CPU or	S1&S3
	chipset) is lost and hardware maintains all system
	context. S3 (STR): The S3 sleep mode is s power-
	down state in which power is supplied only to
	essential components such as main memory and
	wake-capable devices and all system context is
	saved to main memory. The information stored in
	memory will be used to restore the PC to the
	previous state when an wake-upevent occurs.
