Precision T7610 has no option for sleep in Windows 10

Question

I know the T7610 is an old workstation, but I'd still like to use it. I installed Windows 10 on to it and it has no support for sleep. Powercfg /a says the firmware doesn't support any suspend levels. The support documentation for this workstation, and the release notes for BIOS updates, indicate that it should support sleep. Specifically the Reference Guide to the Precision Workstation Diagnostic Indicators talks of the power LED indicating when the system is in a low power state.

Can anyone help me out in figuring out why sleep is unavailable?

My T7610 has:

Dual e5-2670 v2

512GB RAM

Radeon RX570 4GB

256GB Samsung SSD

Sleep options should be and are available on Precision T7610. Due to the system age, give it a new coin cell battery. Reset CMOS via jumper to restore BIOS settings to default value, then making adjustment to match hardware setup and verify that C states control is enabled. Then go in Power Management section to verify and adjust sleep settings to default value (see BIOS setup value below). Save change, reboot, and test again.
