ACPI Suspend Type
This item will set which ACPI suspend type will be used.
S1 (POS)
The S1 sleeping state is low wake-up latency sleeping state. In this
state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware
maintains all system context.
S3 (STR)
The S3 state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state where all system
context is lost except system memory. CPU, cache, and chipset
context are lost in this state. Hardware maintains memory context and
restores some CPU and L2 configuration context.
Power Management
This category allows you to select the type (or degree) of power
saving and is directly related to the following modes:
1. Suspend Mode
2. HDD Power Down
There are three selections for Power Management, two of which have fixed
mode settings.
Min. Power Saving Minimum power management. Suspend Mode = 1
hr., and HDD Power Down = 15 min.
Max. Power Saving Maximum power management — Suspend
Mode = 1 min., and HDD Power Down = 1 min.
User Defined (default) Allows you to set each mode individually.
When not disabled, each of the ranges are from
1 min. to 1 hr. except for HDD Power Down
which ranges from 1 min. to 15 min. and disable.
Video Off Method
This determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked.
V/H SYNC+Blank This selection will cause the system to turn off
the vertical and horizontal synchronization
ports and write blanks to the video buffer.
Blank Screen This option only writes blanks to the video
buffer.
DPMS (default) Initial display power management signaling.
