Chapter 3 Battery Power & Power Management
Suspend Mode
Standby Suspend
The system automatically enters this mode after a period of inactivity, which is set in the Power
Schemes dialog box. In Standby mode, hardware devices, such as the display panel and hard disk, are
turned off to conserve energy.
Hibernate Suspend
In this mode, all system data is saved in the hard disk before powering down. When this mode is
activated, the system state and contents are saved to the hard disk drive after a period of inactivity
defined by the user. No power or very little power is drawn from the battery module under this mode.
However, depending on how much RAM that has been installed on your computer, the amount of time
the system requires to restore all its previous contents can range from 5 to 20 seconds.
For Windows 2000 / XP users, hibernation is handled by the operating system; therefore, no special
disk partition or disk file is necessary.
If you wish to activate Hibernate mode, you need enable Hibernate Support in the Hibernate tab of the
Power Options menu.
Note:
Do not install or remove the memory module when the system is in the suspend mode.
Note:
Actual dialogue box shown above may appear slightly different.
