Suspend Mode
There are several possible settings for suspend mode, which can be selected in the Power Management dialog box:
You may suspend to RAM, suspend to disk, auto suspend, or disable suspend altogether.
Suspend to RAM
In a suspend to RAM, the contents of your computer’s memory are held intact, while practically all the rest of the
components in your computer either turn off completely, or reduce power consumption to a minimum. In a Suspend
to RAM, your computer remains active but with the minimum possible power consumption. Return the computer to
full power by pressing any key. A fully-charged battery can maintain a Suspend to RAM for many hours.
Suspend to Disk
Suspend to Disk is similar to turning off the computer, except that the current state of the computer is copied to the
hard disk as a special file. When the computer returns from suspend mode, the desktop appears with the same files
and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Suspend to Disk is very useful when you don’t want to
take the time to shut down all open programs one by one to shut off the computer, only to have to open the same
programs and files the next time you use the computer. This mode is also called hibernation mode.
Suspend-to-disk Partition
In order to Suspend to Disk, you must have a special suspend-to-disk partition on your hard disk drive. This partition
is pre-installed on your computer. The pre-installed partition is large enough to store all system memory.
Auto Suspend
In Auto Suspend, the computer first suspends to RAM, then suspends to disk, according to intervals set on the Power
Management page.
