Using Power Management Options Using PowerProfiler

•Save all open files before you press [Fn+F4] to manually place your computer into Suspend mode.

•If you purchased a new hard drive, make sure that you create a save to disk partition equal to the amount of system memory plus the amount of video memory plus 2 MB, before you enable save to disk mode. See ”Creating a Save-To-Disk Partition” on page 97 for more information.

•Do not try to resume to full-power mode using battery power if the battery charge is low. If the battery charge is too low, the system may not be able to resume fully. Plug in the power cord if your computer cannot resume normal operation because of a low battery charge.

CAUTION: When your computer is in Save to RAM or Save to Disk mode, do not connect or remove any devices (including PC Cards or memory modules) because you may damage the computer or Resume To Full Power may fail. If a floppy disk is in the floppy drive, do not remove it or switch it with another disk. However, you can plug in the AC adapter if the Resume To Full Power fails because of a low battery charge. When the computer is in Save To Disk mode, you can remove and replace the battery.

Using PowerProfiler

PowerProfiler enables you to set power-management options for computers shipped with Windows NT installed. To open the PowerProfiler window, double- click the battery icon on the right corner of the Windows task bar or click on the PowerProfiler icon in the Program bar. If you click the icon with the right mouse button, a menu appears with an option to put the computer in Suspend mode.

Click the Standard tab in PowerProfiler to set timeouts for the LCD and the hard drive. You can also set power management to be enabled: Always, Battery Only, or Never. The Advanced screen in PowerProfiler enables resume from rest options, and the Battery screen enables options to conserve battery life.

Keep the following in mind when using PowerProfiler:

•If you disable power management in PowerProfiler, the setting overrides any power-management settings in System Setup.

•If you enable LCD and hard drive timeouts in PowerProfiler and the standby timeout in System Setup, the LCD and hard drive turn off when the shortest timeout period in either program passes.
