3.5 Knowing the Power Saving
Features
One of the great features in your notebook computer G-MAX
N411 aside from its superior performance is the ability to save
energy power. Your notebook computer G-MAX N411 is designed
to incorporate intelligent and advanced power management
functions that turn off power of most components when system
is idle or not in use. This does not affect the performance of your
system as it monitors the activity of your notebook computer
G-MAX N411 and resumes power and operating speed when
activity is detected. This feature not only gives you longer
battery hours but cooler systems and components as well. For
more information on how to control the power management
features of your notebook computer G-MAX N411, refer to Power
Management function in Control Panel of Windows.
The definitions of power management mode are depicted as
follows:
• Full-On Mode
No device in the system is executed in power management, the
system can respond to all applications at maximum
performance.
• Suspend to RAM mode (Suspend Mode)
All devices are powered off except the other supporting
components and system memory where your working files are
stored. You can activate this either pressing the power button or
setting the Suspend timer on the Power Management function of
the Control Panel in Windows. To resume full-on state, press the
power button.
• Suspend to Disk mode (Hibernation Mode)
When this mode is activated, the context of the entire system is
saved to disk and all components and devices are powered off,
while all clocks are also stopped (except Real Time Clock or
RTC). You can activate this by setting the Hibernate (Windows
XP) mode on the Power Management function of the Control
Panel in Windows. To resume full-on state, you can press the
power button.
