Your notebook’s RAM typically stores the file(s)
on which you are working, the open applica-
tion(s) and any other data required to support
the operation(s) in progress. When you resume
operation from Suspend mode, it returns to
the point in the operation where it left off.
You must use the Suspend/Resume button
to resume operation, and there must be an
adequate power source available, or your
notebook will not resume.
Using the Suspend/Resume Button to
Perform Save-to-Disk
The Save-to-Disk function saves the contents of
the notebook's system memory to the hard
drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume function.
Your notebook is setup to perform this function
in one way–two for Windows 95 and NT– and
can be configured through the system BIOS to
do it in other ways.
Default Methods for using Save-to-Disk mode:
■
Press the Fn key together with the
Suspend/Resume button when activating the
Suspend mode. The Save-to-Disk pop-up will
appear on your screen, simply wait until it
has finished and your notebook will go into
Save-to-Disk mode.
■
Windows 95 and NT users may also activate
the Save-to-Disk mode through their
PowerPanel toolbar.
Customer configured BIOS methods:
■
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.
(Windows 98 SE only.)
■
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.

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 in
the BIOS Guide, see pages 62-63 for
more information.)
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 but-
ton cannot be disabled.
(See the Power
Savings Menu in the BIOS Guide, see
pages 62-63 for more information.)
