Power Management States and BIOS Configuration Options 7-7
Suspend-to-Disk Mode
In Suspend-to-Disk mode, data in RAM and video memory are written to the hard disk drive and, with
the exception of resume logic circuits connected to the Suspend/Resume button switch, the system is
completely powered down. In this state, the system consumes about the same amount of power
consumed in the Off mode. This suspend state uses the least amount of battery power.
Before you configure your system to use Suspend-to-Disk mode, consider the following factors:
• More time is required to suspend or resume system operation as data must be written to or read from
the hard disk drive.
• You must first create a save-to-disk file or partition before you can use Suspend-to-Disk mode, see
“PHDISK Hard Disk Preparation Utility” on page 3-31 for details. (Note that PHDISK may not be
supported for use with your operating system.)
• System operation can only be resumed if the Suspend/Resume button is pressed.
• Suspend-to-Disk mode cannot be used with the Resume On Modem Ring or Resume On Time BIOS
features.
Suspend Events
System operation is suspended when the Suspend Timeout occurs, the Suspend/Resume button is
pressed, or a suspend request is generated by a software application.
Off State
In the Off state, the system is fully powered off. Note, however, that some circuits connected to the
battery will continue to draw a very small amount of current when the system is off. For this reason, the
pen tablet should be stored with a fully charged battery pack if the system will not be in use for more
than a few days.
