Using Power Management
Standby Mode
In standby mode, the hard disk drive stops and the LCD turns off.
All system tasks are interrupted when you enter standby mode. The
computer immediately resumes normal operation when you press
any key or use any pointing device. Also, if a power-saving monitor
(Energy Star Monitor) is in use when the computer enters standby
mode, the computer activates the monitor's low-power mode.
Suspend Modes
The computer provides the following two types of suspend modes for
you to save power:
Suspend mode
RediSafe suspend mode
The following indicator lamps (visible when the LCD is closed)
change status when using suspend mode:
Suspend mode
In suspend mode, all tasks are stopped and stored in memory to
save power. When the computer resumes normal operation, the
tasks are automatically restored.
RediSafe suspend mode
In RediSafe suspend mode, all tasks are stopped, and memory
data and the status of the computer are stored on the hard disk
drive. This prevents accidental loss of data during suspend
mode. Resuming normal operation is faster in RediSafe suspend
mode than it is in Hibernation mode; the computer resumes
normal operation by pressing the Fn key in RediSafe suspend
mode.
