from Standby mode, your notebook will return to the
point where it left off. To resume operation, you must
use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation,
and there must be an adequate power source available,
or your notebook will not resume.
HIBERNATE MODE
The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your
notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of
the Suspend/Resume mode. Your notebook is pre-
configured to perform this function. The Hibernate
mode can also be configured through the system BIOS
to run in other ways depending on what you need to
accomplish.
See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 30.
Using Hibernate Mode
Hibernate default setting is enabled for Windows XP.
To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these
easy steps:
1. From the
Start
menu, select
Control Panel
->
Power
Options
.
2. Select the
Hibernate
tab
and then select the box to
enable or disable this feature.
To use Hibernate mode with your system:
1. From the
Start
menu, select
Control Panel
->
Power
Options
.
2. Select the
Power Schemes
tab
and in the
System
hibernates boxes,
select the amount of time you
want to elapse until the system goes into hibernation
(when plugged in and when running on battery
power).
DISPLAY TIMEOUT
The Video Timeout is one of the power management
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows
Power Management.
HARD DISK TIMEOUT
The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power
management parameters. This feature saves power by
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of the
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows.
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
The Power Options icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off
the display and hard disks whether you are running the
notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure
that you use the following procedure.
1. Click the
Start
button, and then click
Turn Off
Computer
.
2. Select the
Restart
button from within the Turn Off
Computer window.
If you are running your notebook on
battery power, be aware that the battery
continues to discharge while your
notebook is in Standby mode, though not
as fast as when fully operational.
■
Standby or Hibernate modes should not
be used with certain PC Cards. Check
your PC Card documentation for more
information.
■
Disabling the Suspend/Resume button
prevents it from being used to put your
notebook in Standby or Hibernate
mode. The resume function of the
button cannot be disabled.
■
If your notebook is actively accessing
information when you enter Standby or
Hibernate mode, changes to open files
are not lost. The files are left open and
memory is kept active during Standby
mode or the memory is transferred to
the hard drive during Hibernate mode.
■
When PC Cards or external devices are
in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return
to the exact state prior to suspension,
because all peripheral devices will be re-
initialized when the system restarts.
■
The main advantage of using Hibernate
mode is that power is not required to
maintain your data. This is very impor-
tant if you will be leaving your notebook
in a suspended state for a prolonged
period of time. The drawback of using
Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the
power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
