Sleep Mode

This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep 
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is 
plugged into. Refer to the chassis documentation for information 
about support for sleep mode. You can enable sleep mode in 
software. Refer to the driver software documentation for more 
information.
