To suspend system operation:
1.Press the Suspend/Resume button, or carry out the Standby command from your operating system or power management program. (If your system is configured to suspend operation using Hibernate
If you are replacing the battery, wait until
system operation is suspended and the
power icon is flashing before you remove the battery. Failure to do so could result in loss of your unsaved data. (Note that if the Resume On LAN function is enabled in the BIOS setup, you should not remove the battery unless the system is shut down. When Resume ON LAN is enabled, the bridge battery is disabled in order to optimize battery life.)
2.The Power icon either flashes
3.Observe the Power icon in the Status display to deter- mine which suspend mode your system is using.
■Power icon is blinking: Suspend-to-RAM mode.
In this mode, active data is saved by maintaining power to RAM while most other system components are powered off. The Battery Gauge icon in the Status display indicates the battery charge level.
■Power icon is not displayed: Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) mode.
In this mode, active data is stored on the hard disk drive and power usage is reduced to the same level used in the Off state. When the system is in Hibernate mode, the Battery Gauge icon is not visible in the Status display. In this mode, there is no danger of losing data if battery power is lost.
If you have successfully performed this procedure, system operation is now suspended. Refer to “Resuming System Operation” later in this chapter to resume system operation. Also, note the following with regard to suspending system operation:

■Suspending system operation interrupts data commu- nications; therefore, some programs may block the system from suspending to prevent an interruption.
■The suspend action of the Suspend/Resume button may be disabled to prevent accidental interruption. If this is the case, pressing the Suspend/Resume button will not suspend system operation as described here. (In this case, suspend mode can only be achieved using the system software). Contact your local help desk or reseller if your system configuration is not suitable.
■If your system is equipped with a PC Card that allows you to connect to a wired or wireless network, you may be logged off the network after a period of inactivity while system operation is suspended. Contact your network administrator or help desk, or call Fujitsu Service and Support at
