•
[S1] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context
is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system context.
•
[S3] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in formation of
system configuration and open applications/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
