batteries, while in the Suspend mode will

Save-to-Disk Mode
The Save-to-Disk function saves the contents of
your notebook’s system memory to the hard
drive whenever you:
■
Press the Suspend/Resume button until
acknowledged with Save-to-Disk mode
enabled from the Power Savings menu of the
BIOS setup utility.
■
Select Suspend from the Windows 95 Start
menu with Save-to-Disk mode enabled by
the BIOS setup utility.
■
Select Save-to-Disk activation from the
PowerPanel toolbar or menu.
P O I N T
When PC Cards or external devices are
in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return
to the exact state prior to suspension,
because all of the peripheral devices will
be re-initialized when the system restarts.
P O I N T
The main advantage of using the
Save-to-Disk function is that power is
not re q u i red to maintain your data. This
is particularly important if you will be
leaving your notebook in a suspended
state for a prolonged period of time. The
drawback of using Save-to-Disk mode
is that it lengthens the power down and
power up sequences and resets
peripheral devices.
