Using The Power-Management Features; Energy-Saving Modes Of Workstation - Fujitsu CELSIUS Mobile H Operating Manual

Working with the workstation

Using the power-management features

The workstation uses less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then
be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
If you are connected to a network or use the integrated modem, PC LAN card, or PC
i
modem card, we advise against enabling an energy saving mode. This could lead to an
interruption of your network connection.
When not using the workstation for long periods of time, first end the energy saving mode,
then switch off the workstation. Never switch off the workstation with the
Suspend/Resume button while the workstation is in one of the energy-saving modes.
If your workstation is in an energy-saving mode:
Do not connect any external devices.
Do not disconnect any external peripheral devices.
Do not attempt to switch the workstation on if the built-in battery is flat.
Do not change or remove the floppy disk, if inserted.
Do not add or remove RAM.
Do not add or remove a PC card.
Do not replace or remove the battery.

Energy-saving modes of workstation

You can set two energy-saving modes with your workstation.
In the Suspend mode (Suspend to DRAM/Standby) all current data (active programmes, files) are
buffered in the main memory, and in the Save-to-Disk mode (Save to Disk/HibernateMode) all current
data are saved on the hard disk. Then the workstation is switched off. After the workstation is
switched on, you can continue working exactly where you left off before.
Operating systems with ACPI
(Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
For operating systems with ACPI you can set the energy-saving functions under Settings -
i
Control Panel - Power Management (e.g. Standby, Hibernate mode and LCD off).
You can configure the Suspend/Resume button and the lid switch in the Settings tab under
Settings – Control Panel – Power Management.
Settings for energy-saving functions in the BIOS Setup are not taken into account by
operating systems with ACPI.
