Resuming From Suspend-to-Disk Mode

Your computer resumes from the suspend-to-disk mode when you slide the power switch. The system restores the exact state as it was when entering the suspend mode. If the computer enters the suspend mode because of low battery power, however, you have to connect the computer to AC power first. Suspend-to-disk mode is useful when you want to turn off the computer and reopen the same windows after turning it on.

∙If your battery becomes completely discharged while in suspend-to- RAM mode, you will lose unsaved data and will need to reboot your computer. Therefore, if you are planning to leave your computer suspended for long periods of time, Dell recommends using suspend- to-disk mode.

∙When the system enters or resumes from the suspend-to-disk mode, you can see some flicker on the display. This is not a malfunction.

∙If sufficient battery power does not remain, your computer will not resume from the suspend-to-disk mode. To resume it from the suspend- to-disk mode, connect the computer to AC power.

∙If a PC card does not work properly after your computer resumes from the suspend-to-disk mode, restart the computer.

When entering or resuming from a suspend mode, be sure to observe the following precautions. Otherwise, the computer may not operate correctly after it has resumed from the suspend mode.

∙Do not turn off the computer when the system is suspended to RAM. The RAM contents will be lost.

∙Do not operate the keyboard, glide pad or mouse while the system is entering or resuming from a suspend mode.
