Power Management Setup

The Power Management Setup menu configures the system to most effectively save energy while operating in a manner consistent with your own style of computer use.

ACPI Suspend Type

Set the power saving mode for ACPI function. Settings are:

S1(POS) S1/Power On Suspend (POS) is a low power state. In this state, no system context (CPU or chipset) is lost and hardware maintains all system context.

S3(STR) S3/Suspend To RAM (STR) is a power-down state. In this state, power is supplied only to essential components such as main memory and wakeup- capable devices. The system context is saved to main memory, and context is restored from the memory when a “wakeup” event occurs.

S1 & S3 Depends on OS to select S1 or S3.

HDD Power Down

Set the time to power down HDD after hard disk inactivity. Settings: Disabled and 1~15 (minutes)
