Power Management Setup BIOS Setup Important S3-related functions described in this section are available only when your BIOS supports S3 sleep mode. ACPI Function This item can activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as W indows 2000/ XP, select [Enabled]. ACPI Standby State This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system supports ACPI, such as W indows 2000/ XP , you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1(POS) or S3(STR) fashion through the setting of this field. Set- tings are: [S1] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware main- tains all system context. [S3] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in- formation of system configuration and open applications/files are 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. 3-15
