Suspend mode

This setting selects either S1 (POS) or S3 (STR) system suspend mode. The Optimal and
Fail-Safe Default setting is S3 (STR).

Option

Description

S1 (POS) Power On Suspend - Under this setting the CPU is not executing instructions, all power resources that

supply system level reference of S0 are off, system memory context is maintained, devices that
reference power resources that are on are on, and devices that can wake-up the system can cause
the cpu to continue to execute from where it left off.

S3 (STR) Suspend to RAM - Under this setting the system enters a low power state instead of being
completely shut off. This allows the computer system to boot up in a few seconds.

Headless mode

This is a server-specific feature. A headless server is one that operates without a keyboard,
monitor or mouse. To run in headless mode, both BIOS and operating system (e.g. Windows
Server 2003) must support headless operation
