NEC Versa Series What is the purpose of Suspend to RAM Standby?, C-6 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of Suspend to RAM (Standby)?

You can initiate full Suspend-to-RAM by accessing Start, Shut Down, Standby. This places the system in a deeper state of “sleep” and requires that you slide the Power button forward to resume operation.

Putting your system into Standby initiates the Standby power-saving mode and is a convenient way of conserving energy when you are going to be away from your system for a short period of time.

What is the function of Suspend-to-File (Hibernation)?

Suspend-to-File (Hibernation) provides the greatest power savings by putting the system into a maximum power shutdown. When the system goes into STF mode, it saves data and system status and then shuts off power to all components. STF mode lets you save power without first saving your work. Resuming from STF mode requires less time than performing a cold boot.

Your system must be configured for STF/Hibernation. In Windows Power Management Properties, check the box labeled “enable hibernate support,” under the Hibernate tab.

How do I bring my system out of Standby mode?

Sliding the Power button forward brings the system out of Standby mode.
