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 of system meory, 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 memory upgrade module without
changing the size of your Save-to-Disk
allocation you will get an error message
when you try to activate the 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 Setting Up Your Save-to-Disk
File Allocation on pages 81–82 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 notebook for 16 seconds. Any activity
will cause the normal operation to restart auto-
matically. This feature is independent of the
Suspend/Resume button. This parameter is
enabled and disabled in the BIOS se tup utility.
(See pages 83–84.)
Standby Mode
Standby mode is one of the power management
parameters. When Standby mode is activated,
your notebook puts the CPU in low-sp eed
operation,shuts off the display and turns off
the hard drive when there is no activity (key-
stroke, pointer action, sound generation, video
display change,modem transmission or recep-
tion, etc.) on your notebook for the user select-
ed time-out period. (See pages 83 and 85.) Any
activity will cause your notebook to return to
