Whiteboard changed:
  UDS Discussion Points:
  
  Capability of S3 suspend in OCP
-  (current state)
+  (current state)
  Neet to communicate / articulate S3 importance to the Hardware Management and Mobo track.
  
  Steps
-  1a. Make sure functionality that is needed by PowerNap is in OCP
-  1b. Make sure that PowerNap supports OCP monitors / etc
-  2. Make PowerNap part of the required specification
-  3. Software
-      - Authenticated/encrypted packet over a network to pass a power comand.
-      - Server side - Monitor to wakeup certain disks based on jobs.
-      - PowerWake - IPMI support.

  User Stories:
+ 
+ Frank wants to be able to take advantage of the OCP hardware power
+ savings features by making use of S3. PowerNap provides a framework for
+ which it can effectively monitor various aspects of the machine (in
+ userspace) and determine when the machine is not utilized.
+ 
+ By making use of PowerNap, Frank will be able to obtain power savings by
+ using S3 on his servers, when these are not being in use as determined
+ by PowerNap, and will be able to wake them up on demand.
+ 
  Assumptions:
+ 
+ - OCP Provides HW that supports S3
+ - OCP Has provided the functionality needed by PowerNap
+ - OCP provides HW to test PowerNap functionality.
+ 
  Test Plan:
+ 
+  - Install PowerNap in OCP hardware and make sure it works as expected.
