Standby Mode
In addition to reducing the CPU speed, this mode puts peripheral components in
their lowest active states. These peripheral components include the hard disk, the
LCD screen and the screen backlight. The TransPort NX enters Standby mode
when the system remains idle for a specified amount of time. Press any key to
resume system operation.
There are two ways the TransPort NX may enter the standby mode:
•
The Standby timer “times out”, automatically placing the computer in
Standby mode.
•
The Power button is pressed once, briefly.
All CPU and peripheral activity must have ceased prior to entering the Standby.
VGA activity (like clock updates) does not prevent the notebook from entering the
standby mode.
When the notebook enters the Standby mode the following will occur:
•
The Standby LED becomes illuminated.
•
Both the HDD and VGA controller will enter Standby mode to save power.
•
The internal clock in the CPU will stop.
There are four ways the notebook will resume from the Standby mode:
•
Any system activity detected.
•
Movement of the mouse (touchpad or external mouse) or any keystroke.
•
RTC alarm ring.
•
Modem ring from serial or Cardbus source.
Suspend To RAM The system is defaulted to Suspend to RAM in the BIOS. To suspend the system
press the Power On button once quickly to put the system into suspend. The blue
power light will begin to blink.
To “wake” the computer out of Suspend mode, press the Power On button once.
The system may take up to a minute to be fully functional. The blue light will be
steadly illuminated during this process.
Two conditions will cause the notebook to enter the Suspend mode:
•
The Suspend timer “times out,” automatically placing the computer in
Suspend mode.
•
The Power button is pressed once, briefly.
