Suspend Mode - AVERATEC AV3120V User Manual

Suspend Mode

There are several possible settings for suspend mode, which can be
selected in the Power Management dialog box: You may have the
notebook standby, hibernate, or you can power off the computer
altogether.
All devices are powered up and in suspend mode
Standby
except for the CPU clock.
Hibernate
Suspend to Disk is similar to turning off the computer,
except that the current state of the computer is copied
to the hard disk as a special file. When the computer
returns from suspend mode, the desktop appears
with the same files and programs open as when the
computer was suspended. Suspend to Disk is very
useful when you don't want to take the time to shut
down all open programs one by one to shut off the
computer, only to have to open the same programs
and files the next time you use the computer. This
mode is also called hibernation mode.
System is shutdown.
Power Off
Initiating Suspend Mode
There are four ways to initiate suspend mode. The settings can be
adjusted in the Power Management dialog box:
•
The computer will automatically enter suspend mode when not
used for a set period of time.
•
Selecting the Stand by button in the Shut Down Windows dialog
box.
•
Closing the screen cover (assuming no external monitor has
been connected).
•
Pressing the power button (if enabled in power settings).
•
Pressing the suspend function key <Fn> + <F4>.
Using the BIOS Utility for Power Management
With Windows running in ACPI mode, power can be controlled
through the Power Management dialog box only. With operating
systems that use ACPI power management, BIOS power settings
have no effect.
