Power Management Setup
IPCA Function
This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Man-
agement Interface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as
Windows 98SE/2000/ME, select Enabled. Settings: Enabled and Disabled.
Sleep State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. Options are:
S1/POS The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no
system context (CPU or chipset) is lost and hardware
maintains all system context.
S3/STR The S3 sleep mode is a power-down state in which power
is supplied only to essential components such as main
memory and wake-capable devices and all system con-
text is saved to main memory. The information stored in
memory will be used to restore the PC to the previous
state when an wake up event occurs.
The Power Management Setup allows you to configure you system to most
effectively save energy while operating in a manner consistent with your own
style of computer use.
