The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-
Disk) mode should not be used with
certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card
documentation for more information.
When PC Cards or external devices are
in use, Hibernation (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.
If your LifeBook notebook is actively
accessing information when you enter the
Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk)
mode, changes to open files are not lost.
The files are left open and memory is
kept active during Suspend mode or the
memory is transferred to the internal hard
drive during Hibernation mode.
The main advantage of using the
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) function is
that power is not required to maintain your
data. This is particularly important if you
will be leaving your LifeBook notebook
in a suspended state for a prolonged
period of time. The drawback of using
Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the
power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
