Microsoft Windows 2000 Hibernate
Use the Hibernate window to enable hibernate support, see the amount of free disk space, and
the amount of disk space required to hibernate. When the system hibernates, it performs a save-
to-disk or save-to-file (STF). The current working environment is saved to the hard disk. Use the
Power button to resume from hibernation and the system returns to its previous state.
To enable hibernate support, go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double click the Power
Management Properties (Power Options Properties in Microsoft Windows 2000) icon. Select the
Hibernate tab and place a check mark in the box labelled 'Enable hibernate support.' Click
Apply, click OK, and close the Control Panel.
Note
When powering on the Versa TXi notebook running the Microsoft Windows 2000
operating system, you may encounter a warning message suggesting that a problem exists with
the hibernation file on the system. The warning message is inaccurate. To disable this message,
follow the instructions in the previous paragraph to enable hibernate support.
Microsoft Windows 2000 and Intel SpeedStep Technology
Use the Intel SpeedStep technology (available in systems with Intel Pentium III processors) to
optimize processing speed and conserve battery life.
Enable SpeedStep technology through the BIOS Setup utility. The available settings are
Disabled, Battery Operation, and Automatic.
n
Use Automatic for the system to perform in full power mode when the system is running
under AC power.
n
Use Battery Operation for the system to use power conservatively whether the system is
running on AC power or battery power.
n
Use Disabled to turn off Intel SpeedStep technology.
If SpeedStep technology is enabled in the system, an icon appears on the taskbar allowing you to
adjust processing properties. However, the default settings are recommended for optimal
performance and battery conservation.
For information about accessing the BIOS Setup utility, refer to "How to Use Setup" and
"Advanced Menu" in earlier in this chapter.
