ACPI Function (Enabled): Use this item to enable or disable the ACPI function.

ACPI Suspend Type (S3(STR)): Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default, S3 (STR), the suspend mode is a suspend on RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh current to the system memory.

Run VGA BIOS if S3 Resume (Auto): This item allows the system to initialize the VGA BIOS from S3 (Suspend on RAM) sleep state.

Video Off Method: This item defines how the video is powered down to save power. This item is set for DPMS (Display Power Management Software) by default.

Suspend Type (Stop Grant): If this item is set to the default Stop Grant, the CPU will go into Idle Mode during power saving power.

Modem Use IRQ (3): If you want an incoming call on a modem to automatically resume the system from a power-saving mode, use this item to specify the interrupt request line (IRQ) that is used by the modem. You might have to connect the fax/modem to the main board Wake On Modem connector for the feature to work.
