Fujitsu DVD Player manual Hibernation SAVE-TO-DISK Feature, Standby Mode, Display Timeout

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 notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.

P O I N T

Windows 98 systems only: 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 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 Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode and it will not work. In Windows 98 Second Edition, use the PHDISK Utility to increase the size of the Save-to-Disk file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You can download the Save-to-Disk File Allocation information from our Web site at www.fujitsupc.com. If you need help, contact your support representative.

The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)
