P O I N T

If you are using CD Player, your notebook will not go into Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes until you stop Quick Player.

P O I N T

Save-to-Disk mode will not operate when Resume On Modem Ring has been selected in the BIOS.

Customer configured BIOS methods:

■Press the Power Button until acknowledged with Save-to-Disk mode enabled from the Power menu of the BIOS setup utility.

■Select Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu with Save-to-Disk enabled by the BIOS Setup Utility.

■Time out from lack of activity with Save-To- Disk mode enabled from the Power Savings menu of the BIOS setup utility.

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 the Save-to-Disk function is activated your note- book saves the contents of the system memory to a file on the internal hard drive, and then automatically shuts off power to your notebook. When you resume operation by pressing the Power button, you return to the point in the operation where you left off, before going into Save-to-Disk mode.

P O I N T

By holding down the Fn key while pressing the Suspend/Resume Button, it is possible to enter Save-to-Disk mode without enabling it in the BIOS Setup utility.

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 note- book for 16 seconds. Any activity will cause the normal operation to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume modes. This parameter is enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility. (See pages 43-44.)

Standby Mode

Standby mode is one of the power manage- ment parameters. When Standby mode is acti- vated, your notebook puts the CPU in low- speed operation, 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. (See page 40.) Any activity will cause your notebook to return to normal operation automatically. This feature is independent of the Power button. This para- meter is enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility.
