Table 3-5Computer Setup—Power

Option	Description

OS Power	● Runtime Power Management— Enable/Disable. Allows certain operating systems to reduce
Management	processor voltage and frequency when the current software load does not require the full
	capabilities of the processor.
	● Idle Power Savings—Extended/Normal. Allows certain operating systems to decrease the
	processors power consumption when the processor is idle.
	● ACPI S3 Hard Disk Reset—Enabling this causes the BIOS to ensure hard disks are ready to
	accept commands after resuming from S3 before returning control to the operating system.
	● ACPI S3 PS2 Mouse Wakeup—Enables or disables waking from S3 due to any PS2 mouse
	activity or a button click only.
	● USB Wake on Device Insertion (some models)—Allows system to wake from Standby on USB
	device insertion.
	● Unique Sleep State Blink Rates—Enable/Disable. This feature is designed to provide a visual
	indication of what sleep state the system is in. Each sleep state has a unique blink pattern.
	◦	S0 = Solid green LED.
	◦	S3 = 3 blinks at 1Hz (50% duty cycle) followed by a pause of 2 seconds (green LED) —
		repeated cycles of 3 blinks and a pause.
	◦	S4 = 4 blinks at 1Hz (50% duty cycle) followed by a pause of 2 seconds (green LED) —
		repeated cycles of 4 blinks and a pause.
	◦	S5 = LED is off.

NOTE: If this feature is disabled, S4 and S5 both have the LED off. S3 uses 1 blink per second.

Hardware Power SATA Power Management—Enables or disables the SATA bus and/or device power management.

Management

S5 Maximum Power Savings—Turns off power to all nonessential hardware when system is off to meet EUP Lot 6 requirement of less than 1 Watt power usage. Enabling this feature will disable any wake events and management devices while in S5.

Thermal

Fan idle mode—This bar graph controls the minimum permitted fan speed.

NOTE: This setting only changes the minimum fan speed. The fans are still automatically controlled.
