ABSTRACT:
An advanced configuration and power interface operating system transparent method to control the wake-to-sleep and sleep-to-wake transitions includes: detecting a sleep enable command; temporarily blocking completion of the sleep enable command; generating an interrupt; configuring an input-output device; and completing the sleep enable command. The sleep enable command can be a write command to an advanced configuration and power interface sleep enable data storage unit. The generated interrupt can be a system management interrupt that invokes a basic input-output device configuration program.
