2-36 Setup and Operation
Using the Save to File (STF) Feature
STF protects the integrity of your working files. For example, if you are called away from
your NEC Versa and Suspend mode is selected with auto Save to File active, your system
automatically goes into Suspend mode. After 30 minutes, if you don’t return, your working
environment is saved to a special file on your hard disk.
To configure your NEC Versa’s STF feature:
1.
Access the BIOS setup utility.
2.
Select Power Management from the Setup Main Menu.
3.
Move the cursor down and highlight Suspend Mode.
4.
Press the PgUp key and select STF.
5.
Save the settings and exit BIOS Setup.
There are two ways to invoke the NEC Versa’s STF feature, one automatic and one man-
ual.
After 30 minutes of inactivity, your NEC Versa automatically invokes STF, pro-
vided you have configured STF in the BIOS Setup utility.
You can manually invoke STF by pressing Fn Suspend simultaneously, before
you leave your NEC Versa.
NOTE
When the status bar reads that there is only
4% power remaining in the system, the NEC Versa
automatically performs a Save to File.

Saves you time. When you return from that urgent call or meeting, you don’t have to re-
