Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a significant amount of hard drive capacity for saving all 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 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 113-114 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 97.)

Standby Mode

Standby mode is one of the power management parameters. When Standby mode is activated, your notebook puts the CPU in low-speed operation,shuts off the display and turns off the hard drive when there is no activity (key- stroke, pointer action,sound generation, video display change,modem transmission or recep- tion, etc.) on your notebook for the user select- ed time-out period. (See page 98.) Any activity will cause your notebook to return to normal operation automatically. This feature is inde-

pendent of the Suspend/Resume button. This parameter is enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility.

Video Timeout

The Video Timeout is one of the power man- agement parameters which saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display 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 97.)

Hard Disk Timeout

The Hard Disk Timeout is one of the power management parameters which saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive access for the timeout period which has been set in the BIOS setup utility. (See page 97.) Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause the hard drive to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/ Resume button. This parameter is enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility.
