Power Management Setup
ACPI Standby State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating
system supports ACPI, such as Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP, you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1(POS) or S3(STR)
fashion through the setting of this field. Setting 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 main-
tains all system context.
[S3 (STR)] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the informa-
tion of system configuration and open applications/files is saved
to main memory that remains powered while most other hard-
ware components turn off to save energy. The information
stored in memory will be used to restore the system when a
“wake up” event occurs.
Suspend Time Out (Minute)
If system activity is not detected for the length of time specified in this field, all
devices except CPU will be shut off. Settings: [Disabled], [1 Min], [2 Min], [4 Min], [8
Min], [12 Min], [20 Min], [30 Min], [40 Min], [1 Hour].
HDD Power Down
If HDD activity is not detected for the length of time specified in this field, the hard disk
drive will be powered down while all other devices remain active. Settings are
[Disabled] and [1] through [15] Min.
MSI Reminds You...
S3-related functions described in this section are available only when
your BIOS supports S3 sleep mode.
