Fujitsu E-6570 Hibernation SAVE-TO-DISK Feature, Standby Mode, Display Timeout, Hard Disk Timeout

P O I N T

The main advantage of using the Hibernation (Save-to- Disk) function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your LifeBook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.

P O I N T

Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a significant amount of hard drive capacity for saving all system memory, which reduces your usable disk space. When you purchase your LifeBook it will have space allocated for the memory installed. If you upgrade the original system by adding a memory upgrade module without changing the size of your Save-to-Disk allocation you will get an error message when you try to activate Save- to-Disk mode and it will not work. Use the PHDISK Utility to increase the size of the Save-to-Disk file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You can download the Save-to-Disk File Allocation information from our Web site at www.8fujitsu.com. If you need help, contact your support representative for recommendations.

STANDBY MODE

Standby mode is one of the power management param- eters. When Standby mode is activated, your LifeBook puts the CPU in low-speed operation, shuts off the display and turns off the hard drive when there is no activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation,

G e t t i n g S t a r t e d

video display change, modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your LifeBook for the user selected time-out period. Any activity will cause your LifeBook to return to normal operation automatically. This feature is inde- pendent of the Power and Suspend/Resume button.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Power and Suspend/ Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 39 for more information)

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Power and Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 39 for more information)

WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION POWER MANAGEMENT

Power Management

The Power Management icon located in the Windows 98 Second Edition Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the LifeBook on battery power or one of the adapters. (See Pre-Installed Software on page 32 for more information)

ACPI and Windows 98 Second Edition

Short for Advanced Configuration & Power Interface, a power management specification developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba. ACPI, which is part of the Windows 98 Second Edition operating system, enables the operating system to control the amount of power given to each device attached to the computer. With ACPI, the operating system can turn off peripheral devices, such as the CD-ROM player, when it is not in use. Your operating system has been pre-configured for ACPI power management.
