6 Deep Sleep Control
The Deep Sleep Control BIOS feature allows devices such as the system’s LAN on Motherboard or LOM
and USB controllers to enter a special low power mode when system is in S4 or S5 state. It turns off most of
the power-consuming circuitry as required and may disable things such as Power Management Event, USB
Power and so on. When the system is in the Deep Sleep state, the Wake-on-LAN and Wake-from-USB
functionalities are disabled.
This feature supports the following values:
 Disabled – The system’s LOM and USB ports do not enter this lower power state.
 Enable in S5 only – The system’s LOM and USB controllers are in Deep Sleep only upon entering
S5.
 Enable in S4 and S5 – the system’s LOM and USB controllers are in Deep Sleep (lowest power off
mode) upon entering S4 or S5.
