Suspend Mode [Auto]

Allows you to select the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) state

to be used for system suspend. Configuration options: [S1 (POS) Only] [S3 Only]

[Auto]
[S1(POS) Only] - Enables the system to enter the ACPI S1 (Power on Suspend)

sleep state. In S1 sleep state, the system appears suspended

and stays in a low power mode. The system can be resumed at

any time.

[S3 Only] - Enables the system to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend to RAM) sleep

state (default). In S3 sleep state, the system appears to be off

and consumes less power than in the S1 state. When signaled by a

wake-up device or event, the system resumes to its working state

exactly where it was left off.
