This option offers two possibilities: S1 (POS) and S3 (STR). ACPI normally has six  states: system S0, S2, S3, S4, S5. For more information see  BIOS-Inside / ACPI-Funktionen.

S1 (POS) Power on Suspend: The sleep mode S1  has a very low reactivation latency. In this state no system context get lost (CPU oder Chipsatz)

S3 (STR) Suspend to RAM: The state S3 is a deeper sleep mode. It has a low reactivation latency. All system context except the memory context get lost.
