Option

Description

OS Power

Management

●

Runtime Power Management— Enable/Disable. Allows certain operating systems to reduce

processor voltage and frequency when the current software load does not require the full

capabilities of the processor.

●

Idle Power Savings—Extended/Normal. Allows certain operating systems to decrease the

processors power consumption when the processor is idle.

●

ACPI S3 Hard Disk Reset—Enabling this causes the BIOS to ensure hard disks are ready to accept

commands after resuming from S3 before returning control to the operating system.

●

ACPI S3 PS2 Mouse Wakeup—Enables or disables waking from S3 due to PS2 mouse activity.

●

USB Wake on Device Insertion (some models)—Allows system to wake from Standby on USB

device insertion.

●

Unique Sleep Blink Rates—This feature is designed to give the user a visual indication of the sleep

state the system is in. Each sleep state has a unique blink pattern:

◦

S0 = Solid green LED.

◦

S3 = 3 blinks at 1Hz (50% duty cycle) followed by a pause of 2 seconds (green LED), i.e.,

repeated cycles of 3 blinks and a pause.

◦

S4 = 4 blinks at 1Hz (50% duty cycle) followed by a pause of 2 seconds (green LED), i.e.,

repeated cycles of 4 blinks and a pause.

◦

S5 = LED is off.

If this feature is disabled, S4 and S5 both have the LED off. S1 (no longer supported) and S3 use

1 blink per second.
