The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.

P O I N T

If your LifeBook is actively accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode.

P O I N T

When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Save- to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.

P O I N T

The main advantage of using the Hibernation (Save-to- Disk) function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your LifeBook in a suspended state for a pro- longed period of time. The drawback of using Hiberna- tion (Save-to-Disk) mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.

P O I N T

Hibernation (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 LifeBook 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 Hibernation (Save-to- Disk) allocation you will get an error message when you try to activate Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode and it will not work. Use the PHDISK Utility to increase the size of the Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You can download the Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) File Allocation information from our Web site at www.8fujitsu.com. If you need help, contact your support representative for recommendations.

STANDBY MODE

Standby mode is one of the power management parame- ters. When Standby mode is activated, your LifeBook puts the CPU in low-speed operation, shuts off the

P o w e r M a n a g e m e n t

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 LifeBook for the user-selected Standby time-out period. Any activity will cause your LifeBook to return to normal operation automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature 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 and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)

WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION POWER MANAGEMENT

The Power Management icon located in the Windows 98 Second Edition Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the LifeBook on battery power or one of the adapters. (See Pre-Installed Software on page 28 for more information) The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

1.Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2.Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

3.Click OK to restart your LifeBook. Your LifeBook will shut down and then reboot.
