|
|
ACPI Suspend Type | This item specifies the power saving modes for | S1/POS |
| ACPI function. Options are: | S3/STR |
| S1/POS: The S1 sleep mode is a low power |
|
| state. In this state, no system context is lost |
|
| (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all |
|
| system context. |
|
| S3/STR: The S3 sleep mode is a lower power |
|
| state where the information 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 information stored in |
|
| memory will be used to restore the system |
|
| when a “wake up” event occurs. |
|
|
|
|
Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume | When ACPI Suspend Mode is set to S3 or | Auto, Yes, No |
| S1&S3, users can select the options in this |
|
| field. Selecting [Yes] allows BIOS to call |
|
| VGABIOS to initialize the VGA card when |
|
| system wakes up (resumes) from S3 sleep |
|
| state. The system resume time is shortened |
|
| when you disable the function, but system will |
|
| need an AGP driver to initialize the VGA card. |
|
| Therefore, if the AGP driver of the card does |
|
| not support the initialization feature, the display |
|
| may work abnormally or not function after |
|
| resuming form S3. |
