IDLE MODE
Idle mode is one of the power management parameters.
When Idle mode is enabled, the CPU is put into low-
speed operation when there is no activity (keystroke,
pointer action, sound generation, video display change,
modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your note-
book for 16 seconds. Any activity will cause the normal
operation to restart automatically. This feature is inde-
pendent of the Suspend/Resume modes.
P O I N T
Disabling the Suspend/Resume button prevents it
from being used to put your notebook in Suspend
or Save-to-Disk mode. The resume function of the
button cannot be disabled.
C A U T I O N
The Suspend or Save-to-Disk mode should not be used
with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documenta-
tion for more information.
P O I N T
If your notebook is actively accessing information when
you enter the Suspend or Save-to-Disk mode, changes
to open files are not lost. The files are left open and
memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the
memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during
Save-to-Disk mode.
P O I N T
When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Save-
to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior
to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices
will be re-initialized when the system restarts.
P O I N T
The main advantage of using the Save-to-Disk function
is that power is not required to maintain your data. This
is particularly important if you will be leaving your note-
book in a suspended state for a prolonged period of
time. The drawback of using Save-to-Disk mode is that
it lengthens the power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
P O I N T
Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a significant
amount of hard drive capacity for saving all system
memory, which reduces your usable disk space. When
you purchase your notebook it will have space allocated
for the memory installed. If you upgrade the original
system by adding a memory upgrade module without
changing the size of your Save-to-Disk allocation you
will get an error message when you try to activate
Save-to-Disk mode and it will not work. Use the
PHDISK Utility to increase the size of the Save-to-Disk
file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You can download the Save-to-
Disk File Allocation information from our Web site at
