Standby Mode

Standby mode, in Windows 98 SE, saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts while turning off the CPU, the display, the hard drive and all of the other internal components except those neces- sary to maintain system memory, recognize the Power button and restart. Your notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:

■Pressing the Power button when your system is in the On state.

■Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.

■Timing out from lack of activity.

■Battery level reaching the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, the open application(s) and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from

Standby mode, it returns to the point in the operation where it left off. You must use the Power button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.

C A U T I O N

Loss of all power sources, including batteries, while in the Standby mode will cause lost data and inability to return to operation with the Power button.

Using the Power Button to Perform Save-to-Disk

When your notebook is active, the Power but- ton, (Figure 3-11), can be used to manually put your notebook into Save-To-Disk mode. You can activate Save-to-Disk by holding down the Fn key and pressing the Suspend/Resume but- ton. You may also do it simply by pressing Suspend/Resume button, if you have reconfig- ured your BIOS. (See the BIOS guide on our website at www.8fujitsu.com.)

Push the Power button, when your notebook is active but no Access indicators are on and release the button (immediately). You will hear two short beeps and then your system will flash the Save-to-Disk screen, and enter Save-to-Disk mode.

If your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode, pushing the Power button will return your notebook to active operation at the point where it went into Save-to-Disk mode. You can tell whether or not your system is in Save-to- Disk mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See page 20.) If it is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If it is visi- ble and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If it is not visible, the power is Off or your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode.

P O I N T

If power is lost during Save-to-Disk mode the data will be retrieved automatically as soon as power is returned.
