GENERAL ACPI CONFIGURATION

Suspend Mode

Select the ACPI state used for system suspend.

Settings Description

S1(POS) S1/Power On Suspend (POS) is a low power state. In this

state, no system context (CPU or chipset) is lost and hardware maintains all system contexts

S3(STR) S3/Suspend To RAM (STR) is a power-down state. In this

state, power is supplied only to essential components such as main memory and wakeup-capable devices. The system context is saved to main memory, and context is restored from the memory when a "wakeup" event occurs.

Note:

IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. After receiving the signal, when the operating system is ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the IO device.
