▍ BIOS Setup Power Management Setup Important S3-related functions described in this section are available only when the BIOS supports S3 sleep mode. ▶ ACPI Function This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as Windows 98SE/ 2000/ ME/ XP, select [Enabled]. ▶ ACPI Standby State This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system supports ACPI, such as Windows 2000/ XP, you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1(POS) or S3(STR) fashion through the setting of this field. Settings are: [S1] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all sys- tem's context. [S3] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in formation 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. 3-14

Important
S3-related funct±ons descr±bed ±n th±s sect±on are ava±lable only when the BIOS sup-
ports S3 sleep mode.
ACPI Funct±on
Th±s ±tem ±s to act±vate the ACPI (Advanced Configurat±on and Power Management
Interface) Funct±on. If your operat±ng system ±s ACPI-aware, such as W±ndows 98SE/
2000/ ME/ XP, select [Enabled].
ACPI Standby State
Th±s ±tem spec±fies the power sav±ng modes for ACPI funct±on. If your operat±ng system
supports ACPI, such as W±ndows 2000/ XP, you can choose to enter the Standby mode
±n S1(POS) or S3(STR) fash±on through the sett±ng of th±s field. Sett±ngs are:
[S1]
The S1 sleep mode ±s a low power state. In th±s state, no system
context ±s lost (CPU or ch±pset) and hardware ma±nta±ns all sys-
tem’s context.
[S3]
The S3 sleep mode ±s a lower power state where the ±n format±on of
system configurat±on and open appl±cat±ons/files ±s saved to ma±n
memory that rema±ns powered wh±le most other hardware compo-
nents turn off to save energy. The ±nformat±on stored ±n memory w±ll
be used to restore the system when a “wake up” event occurs.
