ACPI Suspend Type

 

 

 

 

 

Specifies the ACPI sleep state when the system enters suspend.

 

 

S1(POS)

Enables the system to enter the ACPI S1 (Power on Suspend) sleep state.

 

 

In S1 sleep state, the system appears suspended and stays in a low power

 

 

mode. The system can be resumed at any time.

 

 

S3(STR)

Enables the system to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend to RAM) sleep state (default).

 

 

In S3 sleep state, the system appears to be off and consumes less power than

 

 

in the S1 state. When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system

 

 

resumes to its working state exactly where it was left off.

 

Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN

Configures the way to turn off the computer in MS-DOS mode using the power button.

Instant-Off Press the power button and then the system will be turned off instantly. (Default) Delay 4 Sec. Press and hold the power button for 4 seconds to turn off the system. If the power button is pressed for less than 4 seconds, the system will enter suspend mode.

PME Event Wake Up

Allows the system to be awakened from an ACPI sleep state by a wake-up signal from a PCI or PCIe device. Note: To use this function, you need an ATX power supply providing at least 1A on the +5VSB lead. (Default: Enabled)

Power On by Ring

Allows the system to be awakened from an ACPI sleep state by a wake-up signal from a modem that supports wake-up function. (Default: Enabled)

(Note) Supported on Windows® Vista® operating system only.
