ACPI Suspend Type

This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI

S1(POS)

 

 

 

 

 

function. S1(POS): The S1 sleep mode is a low

S3(STR)

 

 

 

 

 

power state. In this state, no system context (CPU or

S1&S3

 

 

 

 

 

chipset) is lost and hardware maintains all system

 

 

 

 

 

 

context. S3 (STR): The S3 sleep mode is s power-

 

 

 

 

 

 

down state in which power is supplied only to

 

 

 

 

 

 

essential components such as main memory and

 

 

 

 

 

 

wake-capable devices and all system context is

 

 

 

 

 

 

saved to main memory. The information stored in

 

 

 

 

 

 

memory will be used to restore the PC to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

previous state when an wake-upevent occurs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

S1&S3: Both S1 and S3 will be adopted.
