The example below demonstrates this function. If the Hard
Disk Timeout is set to 2 minutes, the Standby Timeout to 8
minutes and Auto Suspend Timeout is set to 10 minutes the
following power management events take place:
1. After 2 minutes of system inactivity the hard disk spins
down.
2. After 6 additional minutes (a total of 8 minutes of
inactivity) the system enters Standby.
3. After 10 additional minutes in the system Standby mode,
the system suspends to memory or disk.
After the system has suspended, operation can be returned
(resumed) to the point in your application where it was
suspended.
How to Suspend
The system can be suspended in the following ways:
• System enters Auto Suspend. This is enabled by setting a
time out period for the Auto Suspend field in the Power
menu.
This time out period is the amount of idle time that the
system allows before a Suspend is initiated.
• Pressing and holding the power button for 1 second.
How to Resume
Pressing the power button causes the system to resume
operation after entering the Suspend mode. Resuming returns
the system’s operation to the point in your application where the
suspend mode was initiated.
This does not mean, however, that all devices are powered up.
When the system resumes, the following events occur:
• DRAM refresh memory returns the system to the
application that was running before the Suspend operation
