Suspend and Resume
When at extremely low power, you can enter suspend mode to save power.
In suspend mode, all tasks are stopped and stored in memory to save
power. The system features two levels of suspend mode: Powered-On-
Suspend (POS) mode and Suspend-To-Disk (STD) mode.
Another useful feature is resume mode. This feature allows you to turn the
computer’s power off without exiting your software application. When you
turn the power on again, you can resume work where you left off, because
the screen
display is restored as you left it. This saves time and battery
power.
Caution:
Do not enter suspend mode when you are
1. Accessing any of the disk drives, such as HDD, FDD or CD-ROM drives.
2. Using the audio features or playing back video.
3. Playing a DOS game.
Powered On Suspend (POS)
Of the suspend modes, Powered-On-Suspend saves the least amount of
power. However, it takes the shortest time to return to full operation.
Resume from POS Mode
The system can resume from Powered-On-Suspend mode by:
"
Alarm resume (month/day/hour/minute)
"
Modem
ring
"
Pressing any keyboard key.
"
Pressing the power button (if configured as Suspend/Resume function
under SCU)
"
Opening the display lid (only if the suspend mode is initiated by closing
the display lid)
