Suspend mode
In suspend mode, all current data (active programs, files) is saved to the hard disk or buffered in the
memory, and the notebook is switched off.
Suspend to Disk
The active data can only be saved if sufficient space is available on the hard disk (at least the main
memory size + 2 Mbytes). If the operating system Windows NT or OS/2 Warp is used, a FAT partition
with this space must be created as a drive on the hard disk (see manual for respective operating
system).
Suspend to DRAM
The current data is buffered in the memory (DRAM). The data is stored for as long as the notebook is
supplied with energy. If the battery is full, the data is stored for a matter of days. Without a battery and
without a power supply the data is stored for only around 5 minutes. Without a battery and without a
power supply the current data is lost.
