BIOS Setup Power Management Setup MSI Reminds You... S3-related functions described in this section are available only when your BIOS supports S3 sleep mode. ACPI Suspend Type This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system supports ACPI, such as Windows 98SE, Windows ME and Windows 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.
MS-6763 M-ATX Mainboard Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume Selecting [Enabled] allows BIOS to call VGABIOS 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 form S3.
BIOS Setup Suspend Mode If system activity is not detected for the length of time specified in this field, all devices except CPU will be shut off. Settings are Disabled, 1 Min, 2 Min, 4 Min, 8 Min, 12 Min, 20 Min, 30 Min, 40 Min and 1 Hour.
