Suspend Mode

Standby Suspend

The system automatically enters this mode after a period

of inactivity, which is set in the Power Schemes dialog

box. In Standby mode, hardware devices, such as

display panel and hard disk, are turned off to conserve

energy.

Hibernate Suspend

In this mode, all system data are saved in the hard disk

before powering down. When this mode is activated, all

system state and contents are saved to the hard disk

drive after a period of inactivity defined by the user. No

power or very little power is drawn from the battery

module under this mode.

However, depending on how much RAM that have been

installed on your computer, the amount of time the

system requires to restore all its previous contents can

range from 5 to 20 seconds.

For Windows ME / 2000 / XP users, hibernation is

handled by the operating system; therefore, no special

disk partition or disk file is necessary.

If you wish to activate Hibernate mode, you need enable

Hibernate Support in the Hibernate tab of the Power

Options menu.
