If your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode,
pushing the Suspend/Resume button will
return your notebook to active operation at the
point where it went into Save-to-Disk mode.
You can tell whether or not your system is in
Save-to-Disk mode by looking at the Power
indicator. (See page 20.) If it is visible and not
flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If it
is visible and flashing, your notebook is in
Suspend mode. If it is not visible, the power is
Off or your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode.
Save-to-Disk Mode
The Save-to-Disk function, saves the contents
of your notebook’s system memory to the hard
drive and shuts down whenever you:
■
Press the Suspend/Resume button until
acknowledged with Save-to-Disk mode
enabled from the Power menu of the BIOS
setup utility.
■
Select Standby from the Windows Shut down
menu with Save-to-Disk enabled by the BIOS
setup utility.
C A U T I O N
Be sure you know which settings are
active for the Suspend/Resume button
before you use it; misuse can result in
data loss. (See the Power Menu of the
BIOS setup utility, pages 83-90, for more
information.)
■
Time out from lack of activity with Save-To-
Disk mode enabled from the Power Savings
menu of the BIOS setup utility.
Your notebook’s system memory typically stores
the file(s) on which you are working, the open
application(s) and any other data required to
support the operation(s) in progress. When the
Save-to-Disk function is activated your notebook
saves the contents of the system memory to a file
on the internal hard drive, and then automatical-
ly shuts off power to your notebook. When you
resume operation by pressing the Suspend/
Resume button, you return to the point in the
operation where you left off, before going into
Save-to-Disk mode.
P O I N T
Disabling the Suspend/Resume button
prevents it from being used to put your
notebook in Suspend or Save-to-Disk
mode. The resume function of the button
cannot be disabled. (See the Power
Menu of the BIOS setup utility, pages
83-90, for more information.)
