ACPI is a power management specification that makes hardware
status information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a
PC to turn its peripherals on and off for improved power
management. It also allows the PC to be turned on and off by
external devices, so that mouse or keyboard activity wakes up the
computer.

S1(POS) S1/Power On Suspend (POS) is a low power state. In
this state, no system context (CPU or chipset) is lost
and hardware maintains all system contexts.
S3(STR) S3/Suspend To RAM (STR) is a power-down state. In
this state, power is supplied only to essential
components such as main memory and wakeup-
capable devices. The system context is saved to main
memory, and context is restored from the memory
when a "wakeup" event occurs.
S1 & S3 Depends on the OS to select S1 or S3.
