Suspend Modes

The power management feature contains two types of suspend modes: suspend-to- RAM mode and suspend-to-disk mode. In the Setup Utility, you can define which suspend mode the system enters in what conditions.

Suspend-to-RAM mode stores the current condition of the computer in RAM and stops power supply to all but a few essential components. Your system enters and resumes from the suspend-to-RAM mode per the conditions mentioned below. In the suspend-to-RAM mode, the Power indicator blinks green.

Suspend-to-disk mode saves the current condition of the computer in an area of the hard disk, which is called “suspend-to-disk partition,”and turns off the computer. Your system enters and resumes from the suspend-to-disk mode per the conditions mentioned below. In the suspend-to-disk mode, the Power indicator turns off.
