Power Management Setup
This option lets you control system power management. The system has
various power-saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off
the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down that allows the
system to be automatically resumed by certain events.
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inactive
for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If the inactivity continues so that the
timeout period elapses, the system enters a power-saving mode. If any item in
the list of Reload Global Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on that item
will reset the timeout counters to zero.
If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can be
resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a
LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock

ACPI Suspend Type (S3(STR))
Use this item to define how your system suspends. In the default, S1 (POS), the
suspend mode is equivalent to a software power down. If you select S3 (STR),
the suspend mode is suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the
exception of a refresh current to the system memory.
Run VGABIOS if S3 Resume (Auto)
Use this item to initialize the VGA BIOS from S3 (Suspend to RAM) sleep
state.
