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.
P O I N T
Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a
significant amount of hard drive capacity
for saving all system memory, which
reduces your usable disk space. When you
purchase your notebook it will have space
allocated for the memory installed. If you
upgrade the original system by adding a

Standby Mode
Standby mode is one of the power management
parameters. When Standby mode is activated,
your notebook puts the CPU in low-speed
operation, shuts off the display and turns off the
hard drive when there is no activity (keystroke,
pointer action, sound generation, video display
change, modem transmission or reception, etc.)
on your notebook for the user selected time-out
period. Any activity will cause your notebook to
return to normal operation automatically. This
feature is independent of the Power button.
This parameter is enabled and disabled in the
BIOS setup utility.
changing the size of your Save-to-Disk
allocation you will get an error message
when you try to activate Save-to-Disk
mode and it will not work. Use the
PHDISK Utility to increase the size of
the Save-to-Disk file, SAVE2DSK.BIN.
(Refer to Your Save-to-Disk File
Allocation on pages 45-46 for more
information.)
If you need help
contact your support representative
for recommendations.
Idle Mode
Idle mode is one of the power management
parameters. When Idle mode is enabled the
CPU is put into low-speed operation when
there is no activity (keystroke, pointer action,
sound generation, video display change, modem
transmission or reception, etc.) on your note-
book for 16 seconds. Any activity will cause the
normal operation to restart automatically. This
feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
modes. This parameter is enabled and disabled
in the BIOS setup utility. (See page 44.)

power management features that include
the functionality of those listed above.
