 S1 state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state. In this state, no system

context is lost (CPU or chip set) and hardware maintains all system contexts.

 S3 is called “suspend to RAM” state or stand-by mode. In this state the

dynamic RAM is maintained. Dell systems will be able to go to S3 if the OS
and the peripherals used in the system supports S3 state. Windows XP,
Windows Vista and Windows 7 all support S3 state.

 S4 is called “suspend to disk” state or “hibernate” mode. There is no power.

In this state, the dynamic RAM is not maintained. If the system has been
commanded to enter S4, the OS will write the system context to a non-
volatile storage file and leave appropriate context markers. When the system
is coming back to the working state, a restore file from the non-volatile
storage can occur. The restore file has to be valid. Dell systems will be able
to go to S4 if the OS and the peripherals support S4 state. Windows XP,
Windows Vista and Windows 7 all support S4 state.

 S5 is the “soft” off state. There is no power. The OS does not save any

context to wake up the system. No data will remain in any component on
the system board, i.e. cache or memory. The system will require a complete
boot when awakened. Since S5 is the shut off state, coming out of S5
requires power on which clears all registers.

The Precision workstation T7610 supports all of the above states.
