BIOS Setup

The Power Management supports various operating systems (OS). Doze and SpeedStep are OS-independent. Other options work in accordance with the OS power management components.

Windows 2000/ME would enable ACPI mode while Windows 95 enables APM mode.

Other OS (DOS, Windows NT, etc.) without ACPI or APM would apply generic power management.

POS: Power On Suspend (system does not turn off)

STD: Suspend To Disk (system turns off)

SpeedStep: Intel proprietary CPU speed control for mobile models (code name “Geyserville”)
