Consider the following before using suspend mode.
The computer can enter suspend mode when used with the
following operating systems:
– DOS Version 7.0
– OS/ 2 Warp Version 3
– Microsoft Windows Version 3.11 with DOS Version 7.0
– Microsoft Windows 95
– Microsoft Windows NT
Important
When you use Windows Version 3.11, ensure that Advanced
Power Management ( A PM) is installed according to the
instructions in "Installing Microsoft Windows Version 3.11" on
page 190.
Attached devices, such as a printer or serial device, stop running
when the computer enters suspend mode. When you resume
normal operation, the output might differ from what you expect,
because the device might be reset or lose its configuration
settings.
Sometimes you might want to use the computer with the LCD
closed, for example, when an external monitor and keyboard are
used. In such a case, turn on the computer with the LCD closed
or set the computer to not enter suspend mode when the LCD is
closed using the ThinkPad Features program.
When a power-on password is set and the computer resumes
normal operation by the ThinkPad Features timer or an incoming
call, only a blank screen is displayed. To display a power-on
password prompt, press any key or move your pointing device.
When the computer is powered with ac power and is using one
of the following IBM PC Cards, it enters standby mode :

– IBM Token-Ring 16/ 4 Credit Card Adapter
– IBM Credit Card Adapter for Ethernet
