Taking your system out of Suspend

You can take your system out of Suspend by pressing any key on the keyboard or by moving the mouse. (A PS/2 or USB keyboard or mouse can bring the system out of Suspend.) The power LED turns green and your system returns to the state it was in before it entered Suspend.

To reestablish your network connection:

1Click Start, then click Shut Down.

2Select Close all programs and log on as a different user. Selecting this option bypasses the restart process and displays your network logon dialog box.

3Type your password, then click OK. Your logon script runs and your network connections are reestablished.

For more information about power management, see your Windows 95 Help or Windows documentation.

Using Standby in Windows 98

Windows 98 supports two standards of power management, Advanced Power Management (APM) and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).

The Standby mode, available through both APM and ACPI, saves power by spinning down the hard drive, and by reducing or turning off power to the monitor. ACPI lets your system save additional power in Standby by controlling the power usage of individual devices, add-in boards, and hard drives.

When the system is in Standby, it appears to be off. The computer’s power LED turns amber and the monitor darkens, indicating that the system has entered Standby. However, some wakeup events can bring the system out of Standby.

Important If your system is part of a Novell network, putting your system in Standby disconnects you from your network connection. Reestablish your network connection when you take your system out of Standby.
