Sleeping State Definitions 
Sleeping states (Sx states) are types of sleeping states within the global sleeping state, 
G1. The Sx states are briefly defined below. For a detailed definition of the system 
behavior within each Sx state, refer to ACPI specification section 7.5.2. For a detailed 
definition of the transitions between each of the Sx states, refer to ACPI specification 
section 9.1. 
S1 Sleeping State: 
The S1 sleeping 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 context. 
S2 Sleeping State: 
The S2 sleeping state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state. This state is similar to the S1 
sleeping state except the CPU and system cache context is lost (the OS is responsible for 
maintaining the caches and CPU context). Control starts from the processor’s reset vector 
after the wake-up event. 
S3 Sleeping State: 
The S3 sleeping state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state where all system context is lost 
except system memory. CPU, cache, and chip set context are lost in this state. Hardware 
maintains memory context and restores some CPU and L2 configuration context. Control 
starts from the processor’s reset vector after the wake-up event. 
S4 Sleeping State: 
The S4 sleeping state is the lowest power, longest wake-up latency sleeping state supported 
by ACPI. In order to reduce power to a minimum, it is assumed that the hardware platform 
has powered off all devices. Platform context is saved in disk. 
S5 Soft Off State: 
The S5  state is similar to the S4 state except the OS does not save any context nor enable 
any devices to wake the system. The system is in the “SOFT” off state and requires a 
complete boot when awakened.  Software uses a different state value to distinguish between 
the S5 state and the S4 state to allow for initial boot operations within the BIOS to 
distinguish whether or not the boot is going to wake from a saved memory image.
