hibernate as a sleep function is more of a function of the Linux kernel and host OS than of the hardware. All the hibernate mechanism is doing is generating an image of memory to the swap file and then the initramfs is generally responsible for re-populating that image and jumping back into it. Beyond that standard power on/off is used for shutting down the machine which is supported on our systems. We have not tested it, but in theory it should work.
