The main advantage of using the Save-to- Disk function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your note- book in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Save-to-Disk 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 of system memory, which reduces your usable disk space. When you purchase your notebook 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 the 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. (Refer to Setting Up Your Save-to-Disk File Allocation on pages 99-100 for more information.) If you need help contact your support representative for recommendations.

Idle Mode

Idle mode is one of the power management parameters. When Idle mode is enabled the CPU is put into low-speed operation when there is no activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation, video display change, modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your notebook for 16 seconds. Any activity will cause the normal operation to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button. This parameter is enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility. (See page 87.)

Standby Mode

Standby mode is one of the power management parameters. When Standby mode is activated, your notebook puts the CPU in low-speed oper- ation,shuts off the display and turns off the hard drive when there is no activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation, video display change,modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your notebook for the user selected time-out period.
