Power global statesG3 Mechanical Off - This off state is entered through a 
mechanical means; no electrical current is running through 
the circuitry and it can be worked on without damaging the 
hardware or endangering service personnel. Except for the 
real-time clock, power consumption is zero.
G2/S5 Soft Off - OS initiated shutdown. The computer 
consumes a minimal amount of power. No user mode or 
system mode code is run. It is not safe to disassemble...
