Using the Power Button
to Perform Save-to-Disk
When your notebook is active, the Power but-
ton,
(Figure 3-13.)
, can be used to manually put
your notebook into Save-To-Disk mode.
However, you must first enable Save-to-Disk
mode by enabling Save-to-Disk mode in the
BIOS Setup utility Power menu.
(See pages 85-
89 for more information on the Power menu of
the BIOS Setup utility.)
Push the Power button, when your notebook
is active but no Access indicators are on and
release the button (immediately). You will
hear two short beeps and then your system
will flash the Save-to-Disk screen, and enter
Save-to-Disk mode.
C A U T I O N
Loss of all power sources, including
batteries, while in the Standby mode will
cause lost data and inability to return
to operation with the Power button.
P O I N T
If power is lost during Save-to-Disk mode
the data will be retrieved automatically as
soon as power is returned.
If your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode,
pushing the Power button will return your
notebook to active operation at the point where
it went into Save-to-Disk mode. You can tell
whether or not your system is in Save-to-Disk
mode by looking at the Power indicator.
(See
page 22.)
If it is visible and not flashing, your
notebook is fully operational. If it is visible and
flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode.
If it is not visible, the power is Off or your
notebook is in 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 notebook 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.
