Such chipsets are ubiquitous across laptops, desktops and servers. + Each policy combines power saving states and features: + - Partial: The Phy logic is powered but is in a reduced power + state. The exit latency from this state is no longer than + 10us). + - Slumber: The Phy logic is powered but is in an even lower power + state.

- Note "Minimum power" is known to cause issues, including disk - corruption, with some disks and should not be used. + Excluding the value 0, higher values represent policies with higher + power savings.
