Precautions for Using the Suspend or Hibernation Function
Save all data before powering off your computer.
When restarting from or shutting down to the suspend or hibernation mode, do not touch the touch pad or touchscreen (or move the mouse (serial or PS/2 type) if one is connected). These devices may fail to operate, you will then need to restart your computer using the keyboard.
Do not enter the suspend/hibernation mode during the following periods (you may corrupt your data or file):
•While the floppy disk drive being accessed or HDD indicator (
) is on.
•While playing/recording audio files.
•While communications software is being used.
Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using an operating system other than the one that comes with your computer, the Setup Utility, or when experi- encing static electricity or noise.
If you hold down on the Alt , Ctrl or Shift key to enter the suspend or hibernation mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For ex-
ample, if you hold down on the | key while pushing the power switch, upon |
resuming, if you do not press the | Shift key again, only capital letters will result from |
typing. | Shift |
Only when the computer stops operating or locks up should the power switch be held more than four seconds to power off the computer. Slide the power switch to power on and data not previously saved will be lost.
In the suspend mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards (e.g., a modem card) are inserted, more of that power may be consumed. When all power has been con- sumed, all data at suspend is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recom- mend plugging in the AC adapter when using the suspend function.
Repeatedly using the suspend or hibernation function will use up a lot of the system resources and the computer may not work properly. Shut down Windows ([Start]- [Shut Down]) on a regular basis, i.e. approximately once a week, without using the suspend or hibernation function. Doing so will restore the system resources.
Do not use the suspend or hibernation function during the following periods. The suspend or hibernation function, or peripherals may not work.
•When a file in devices such as a
•SCSI cards may not recover after entering the suspend or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.
After a Windows 95 USB device driver has been installed, do not use the suspend or hibernation function. If the suspend or hibernation mode is activated, the computer may not function properly. Power off, then on, using the power switch to resume proper operation.
If you want to use the suspend or hibernation function after the USB driver is in- stalled, disable the USB device function of the computer by following the procedure below.
1In [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [System] - [Device Manager], select [Intel(r) 82440MX PCI to USB Universal Host Controller] in [Universal serial bus control- ler].
2Add the check mark 
for [Disable in this hardware profile] in [Properties] - [Gen- eral], press [OK], and then press [Close].
3In [Start] - [Shut Down], select [Restart], then press [OK].
If you want to enable the USB device function again, delete the check mark for [Dis- able in this hardware profile] in step 2. When the message appears asking whether to reboot the computer, select [Yes]. If the message is not displayed, go to step 3.
