To resume activity when your system is in a power-saving
mode, press a keyboard key or move the mouse.
If your system was in Suspend mode, it takes a few moments
for the monitor to display and for the hard disk drive to return
to active mode. You’ll hear it start again. It takes a few seconds
for the drive to reach its full operating speed and read or write
to the disk.
N o t e
Some hard disk drives do not support power-saving modes.
Also, the delay caused by the hard disk drive returning to
active mode may cause errors in some applications. If you
have problems, you may want to disable any power-saving
features for the hard disk drive; see “Setting the Green PC
Features” in Chapter 2.
