Intel IM-Q35 Series Bios Setup Suspend mode, USB Device Wakeup from S3/S4, Acpi Version Features

The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hard- ware maintains all system context.

The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the information of system configuration and open appli- cations/files is saved to main memory that remains powered while most other hardware components turn off to save energy. The information stored in memory will be used to restore the system when a “wake up” event occurs.
