BIOS Setup
Sleep State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operat-
ing system supports ACPI, such as Windows 98SE, Windows ME and Win-
dows 2000, you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1(POS) or S3(STR)
fashion through the setting of this field. Options are:
S1/POS The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no
system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware
maintains all system context.
S3/STR 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.
Initialize VGA BIOS By S3
Selecting Enabled allows BIOS to call VGA BIOS to initialize the VGA card
when system wakes up (resumes) from S3 sleep state. The system resume time
is shortened when you disable the function, but system will need an AGP
driver to initialize the VGA card. Therefore, if the AGP driver of the card does
not support the initialization feature, the display may work abnormally or not
function after resuming from S3.
Power/Sleep LED
This item configures how the system uses power LED on the case to indicate
the sleep/suspend state. Available options are:
Blinking The power LED blinks to indicate the sleep/suspend
state.
Dual Color The power LED changes its color to indicate the sleep/
suspend state.
Power Management
Setting to Enabled will activate an Advanced Power Management (APM) device
to enhance Max Saving mode and stop CPU internal clock. Settings: Disabled,
Enabled.
Suspend Time Out
After the selected period of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU shut
off. Settings: Disabled, 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20
