no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System

Suspend Mode feature.

Click Quit button, and then click Suspend.

When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when

you shut down the computer.

Before entering Suspend Mode, be sure to save your data.

Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in

Suspend Mode. The computer or the memory module could be
