Using Suspend Mode
Suspend mode provides the greatest power savings by
putting the system in a maximum power shutdown.
When the system goes into Suspend mode, it saves data
and system status and then shuts off power to all possible
components. Suspend mode lets you save power without
first saving your work.
You can initiate Suspend mode in two ways:
n
Manually by pressing the suspend button. Pressing the
suspend button is a convenient way of conserving en-
ergy when you are going to be away from your system
for a short period of time.
n
Automatically by setting the Suspend timeout in Setup.
The Suspend timeout is activated after a period of
system inactivity has occurred in Standby mode.
Press a key or move the mouse to wake up the system and
resume system operation. System power and system status
returns to where you left it.
An amber system unit power lamp indicates that the sys-
tem is in a Suspend mode of operation.
See “Power Menu” in Chapter 2 for information about
setting the Suspend mode in Setup.
Plug and Play
Your system comes with Plug and Play system support
already installed. With this support, your system
automatically configures newly added Plug and Play
boards. You simply insert the board in the system.
