When the notebook enters the Suspend mode the following will occur:
•
The Standby LED will flash.
•
Most devices are powered off, except the system DRAM refresh function
and SMI inputs watching for internal keystroke, RTC alarm or modem ring.
•
VGA enters Suspend mode to keep the Video RAM refresh.
There are three ways the notebook will resume from the Suspend mode:
•
Internal keystroke (Power on button is pressed).
•
RTC alarm ring.
•
Modem ring from serial or Cardbus source.
C
AUTION
: If the system is left in DRAM Suspend mode long enough to consume all
battery power, then the Suspend indicator goes out and all unsaved data in
the computer’s memory is lost. The system cannot resume until the battery
is recharged or the TransPort NX is connected to AC power.
Suspend To Disk
The system is defaulted to Suspend to RAM. To change the default to Save to
Disk, reboot the system and and go into the BIOS. (See “About BIOS Setup” on
page 43 and “Power Menu” on page 50.)
Four conditions will cause the notebook to enter the Suspend mode:
•
The Suspend Timer was timed out and the 0 Volt suspend condition is
matched.
•
The Power button is pressed once, briefly.
•
Low battery warning has been issued and the battery is going into Low
battery.
•
If the temperature of the CPU should exceed the maximum allowed (this
setting is dependent upon the CPU).
