Suspend provides more substantial power savings, as well as providing the safe mode for switching
batteries. Since the system is powered-down, it takes longer to resume operation. The WinBook XP5
Pro can remain in the Suspend mode for up to a week on a fully charged battery.
Remember which mode you have chosen when you shut down the computer. Hitting a key or moving
the mouse will activate a WinBook XP5 Pro in Standby mode. The Suspend mode is exited by hitting
the power key. [XP5 Pro 3.5]
PC Cards
PC Cards (or PCMCIA Cards) can be used to extend the capabilities of your system by providing a
connection for adding a modem, a network connection, an additional hard drive, additional RAM, or
other functions. PCMCIA cards provides a compact source of such extended capabilities and a
common interface with your WinBook XP5 Pro. They can provide a very powerful source of
upgrading your system.
PC Cards come in three types: Type I, Type II and Type III. These types vary in width, with Type I
being the thinnest and Type III being the thickest. Your WinBook XP5 Pro can support up to two
cards at a time, in the following configurations:
Two Type I
Two Type II
One Type I and One Type II
One Type III
Due to their thickness, two Type III PC cards will not fit into the PCMCIA bay at the same time, nor
will a Type III PC card fit with a Type I or Type II.
Your WinBook XP5 Pro comes equipped with two PCMCIA slots, which are able to use cards that
conform to the PCMCIA standard.
Because the PCMCIA bay is recessed, you can close the door on the bay and leave the card in the slot.
If your card is not configured for power management, which usually requires a driver specific to the
card, this can drain your battery. Most cards with some external connection will allow you to remove
or recess the connection so that the bay door can be closed. Remember to take any removable
connections with you when you travel if you intend to use the card.
Your system is already equipped with drivers for the PCMCIA slot. [XP5 Pro 3.6]
You can check to see if the drivers are loaded by clicking on the plus sign beside the PCMCIA socket
choice in Device Manager. You can reach device manager via the
System icon in the Control Panel :
Start/Settings/Control Panel/System . Once in the System window, click on the Device Manager
tab. If the drivers are loaded, you should see the "Cirrus Logic PCIC compatible PCI to PCMCIA
