5 The Power System

If you haven’t set up the system for Suspend to Disk, or if the space reserved for the Suspend to Disk partition isn’t large enough, the system will default to Suspend to RAM mode and your unsaved data will be lost when power is turned off.

Suspend Precautions

You should observe the following precautions before switching the system to Suspend mode:

1.Save all open files.

2.While the laptop is in Suspend mode, do not connect or remove any devices (including PCMCIA compatible cards and memory cards); otherwise, you may damage the computer.

3.If a floppy disk is in the floppy disk drive, do not remove it or switch it with another floppy disk.

4.Do not try to resume to Full Power mode using battery power if the battery is low. If the battery is too low, the system may not be able to fully resume.

Resume to Full Power Mode

When your SA200 is in Suspend to RAM mode, the Suspend to RAM Status indicator blinks. To resume to Full Power mode from Suspend to RAM mode, press any key or open the display if it is closed. The system reads all data and system states from RAM and fully restores the system.

Note: If a incoming modem ring is detected while the computer is in Suspend to RAM mode, the computer resumes to Full Power mode.

When your laptop is in Suspend to Disk mode, all of the indicator lights are off. To resume to Full Power mode from Suspend to Disk mode, press the power button. The system reads all data and system states from the hard disk and fully restores the system.
