Suspend
Executing the Suspend
The MW-520 supports two suspend modes: Suspend to RAM and Suspend to Disk.
In Suspend to RAM mode, the memory switches to "self refresh" mode, all
system clocks are stopped, and all devices switch to StandBy.
In Suspend to Disk mode, the memory content and essential register values are
written to the hard disk, and then the power is switched off.
When the system restarts, the BIOS knows that the last time the MW-520 was
powered off this was in the course of a suspend to disk action. The necessary
devices are initialized and the saved registers and memory content are restored.
Resuming after "Suspend to Disk" takes longer than "Suspend to Ram", but the
power consumption is much lower.
From the Windows Start menu, select the Suspend button
or
Exit windows to suspend or Suspend time out
The system initiates the Suspend action. A progress bar indicates that the memory
content is being written to the disk, and when completed, the computer is powered off.
